Dismissed
The appeal for payment of non-VA medical services provided on October 1, 2019, was dismissed as the billing process is governed by statutory and contractual authority that does not allow for review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
The deciding factor: The applicable statutes and regulations governing the VCCP do not contemplate Board review of a question on whether payment is warranted for in-network medical services.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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