Denied
The appeal concerning entitlement to payment of the cost of non-VA medical services provided on September 2, 2021, is denied as there was no authorization by VA for such services.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the non-emergency medical services were not authorized by VA and therefore, there was no legal basis for payment or reimbursement of the expenses incurred.
