Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for additional development, including obtaining non-VA medical records and other insurance information to determine if VA is responsible for any balance remaining after processing by other health insurance carriers.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not clarify what portion of the bill from the ambulance provider was a copayment, deductible, or coinsurance, which is necessary to determine eligibility for reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1725.
