Dismissed
The appeal seeking payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical services provided on November 19, 2018 was dismissed because the billing company that did not furnish the underlying services filed a VA Form 10182 and is not considered a proper claimant.
The deciding factor: The Board found that Benefit Recovery, which did not provide the services in question, could not file a Notice of Disagreement on behalf of the Veteran or the non-VA medical facility.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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