The appeal for payment of the cost for non-VA ambulance transportation services provided on June 28, 2020, is dismissed as the claim has been paid and there remains no case or controversy for the Board to adjudicate.
The deciding factor: Since the appellant is in receipt of the benefit sought on appeal, the issue of entitlement to payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical services for episode of care on June 28, 2020, is moot.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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