Dismissed
The appeal seeking entitlement to payment of non-VA medical services provided to the Veteran by the appellant on November 17, 2020, was dismissed as there has been no determination by VA on the claim.
The deciding factor: No decision by VA/VHA has been rendered, and any appeal is governed by the contractual agreements made pursuant to the VCCP, which do not contemplate an appeal to the Board.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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