The issue concerning entitlement to payment for the cost of non-VA medical care services furnished by the appellant from September 21, 2020, to April 30, 2021, was dismissed because it is subject to a specific administrative dispute resolution process that does not allow for appellate review by the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
The deciding factor: The appeal was dismissed due to the exclusive administrative dispute resolution authority provided under section 1703A of the statute and its implementing regulation, which do not permit VA administrative appeals bodies like the Board to review or resolve VCA disputes.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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