The appeal concerning entitlement to payment for the cost of non-VA medical care services furnished by the appellant on June 15, 2021, was dismissed because it is subject to a specific administrative dispute resolution process that does not allow for appellate review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the appeal concerns a VCA dispute which is exclusively resolved through administrative procedures and cannot be reviewed by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
