Dismissed
The appeal for entitlement to payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services provided on May 19, 2020, was dismissed due to the Board's lack of jurisdiction over disputes arising from decisions under the Veterans Community Care Program.
The deciding factor: Decisions under the VCCP are not appealable to the Board pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1703(f).

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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