Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for reimbursement of non-VA medical expenses incurred on May 11, 2019 and June 28 through June 29, 2019 due to lack of preauthorization and failure to meet eligibility criteria under relevant statutes.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the treatment was preauthorized by VA or that the Veteran met the conditions for reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 or 1728.
