Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services on May 3, 2019, was dismissed because the entity that filed the notice of disagreement is not a proper claimant.
The deciding factor: The Board found that Benefit Recovery, which did not furnish the underlying non-VA medical services in question, cannot file a VA Form 10182 as a Notice of Disagreement.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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