Dismissed
The appeal concerning reimbursement of non-VA medical services provided to the Veteran on August 22, 2018, is dismissed due to improper filing by a billing company that did not furnish the underlying services.
The deciding factor: The July 2021 VA Form 10182 filed by Benefit Recovery was found insufficient as it did not properly initiate appellate review under the applicable regulations.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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