The appeal regarding payment of the cost of non-VA medical services provided by Aegis Sciences Corporation on September 13, 2021, was denied due to lack of VA authorization.
The deciding factor: There is no legal basis for payment or reimbursement of medical expenses incurred on September 13, 2021, as the services were not authorized by VA and did not meet the conditions for emergency treatment.
