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.
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.
Plan for results and follow-up
