Entitlement to reimbursement for non-VA medication expenses incurred on February 27, 2023, is remanded.

Board reasoning

The Board notes that the AOJ failed to associate all pertinent medical and billing records for the February 27, 2023 episode of care, including third-party payment records, VA treatment records, and community care documents. Without a complete record, the Board cannot determine whether the non-VA prescription was related to emergency care and whether the statute and regulations for reimbursement under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 or §1728 apply. The Board remands to reconstruct and associate the full record and to issue a proper decision with the relevant findings once the records are complete.
