Denied
The Board denied the claim for payment of unauthorized non-VA medical expenses in the amount of $482.72 incurred by the Veteran on November 4, 2019, as it was filed outside of the required timely filing deadline.
The deciding factor: The claim was not received within the 90-day (or even 180-day) window from the date of discharge from the facility that furnished emergency treatment.
