Granted
The Veteran's appeal for payment of the cost of non-VA COVID-19 testing provided in November 2020 was granted based on VA's temporary policy to reimburse all such testing claims prior to January 1, 2021.
The deciding factor: Payment is warranted as the testing occurred before the effective date of a requirement for VA referral or emergency eligibility criteria.
