Dismissed
The appeal for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services provided on February 4, 2020, was dismissed due to the specific administrative dispute resolution process that does not allow for appellate review by the Board.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the statutory and regulatory framework governing Veterans Care Agreements which do not contemplate Board review of payment 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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
