Granted
The Veteran's claim for reimbursement of non-VA medical services from August 1, 2020, to August 6, 2020, is granted due to the emergency nature of the treatment and the unavailability of VA facilities.
The deciding factor: The treatment was rendered in a medical emergency and VA or other Federal facilities were not feasibly available, making reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1728 applicable.
