Dismissed
The appeal for payment of non-VA COVID-19 testing costs was dismissed because the billing process is governed by contractual agreements that do not allow for Board review.
The deciding factor: The applicable statutes and regulations governing the Veterans Community Care Program do not contemplate Board review of a question on whether payment is warranted for in-network medical services provided by the appellant.
