The appeal of the issue of entitlement to payment of medical expenses incurred on March 20, 2020, at Northeast Methodist Hospital is dismissed.
The deciding factor: There is no current VA determination denying the benefits sought by the appellant; the medical services in question were authorized by VA under 38 U.S.C. § 1703, and therefore are payable.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
