Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services provided on December 16, 2020 was dismissed due to the improper filing by Benefit Recovery.
The deciding factor: Benefit Recovery is not a proper claimant that may file a VA Form 10182 as they are neither a veteran nor an accredited representative of the Veteran or the health care provider.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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