01

Identify who provides each part

The insurer, program administrator, testing provider, medical professional and licensed agent may perform different roles. Confirm the actual parties in current documents.

02

Separate access from medical guidance

A benefit may describe a way to access a service. A qualified medical professional determines what is appropriate for an individual.

Read eligibility and limitations together

Age, location, policy status, program participation, exclusions and other terms may apply. Do not rely on one headline description.

04

Plan for results and follow-up

Before using a service, ask who receives the information, how results arrive and which medical professional will answer questions.
