The appeal for entitlement to payment of the cost of non-VA medical services provided by appellant from August 28, 2020, to August 29, 2020, was dismissed due to statutory and contractual authority that does not allow for review by the Board.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed because the governing statutes and regulations do not contemplate Board review of questions on whether payment is warranted for VCCP in-network medical services provided by the appellant.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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