Granted
The Board granted payment or reimbursement for the cost of non-VA medical treatment provided by Brantley County EMS on May 16, 2020. The Veteran required emergency treatment and a VA facility was not feasibly available.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's stroke symptoms were severe enough to warrant immediate medical attention, and the Board found that the ambulance service was rendered in an emergency situation.
