The Board denied payment for non-VA COVID-19 testing services provided by Aegis Science Corporation on September 8, 2021, as the services were not authorized by VA and did not meet emergency care requirements.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of authorization in the VA system for the services provided on September 8, 2021, and the absence of an emergent event that would warrant payment under existing policies.
