insurance approval
Carrier says yes
Insurance approval is the formal authorization from an insurance company agreeing to cover a specific claim, procedure, or treatment.
In healthcare, many procedures require prior approval before the insurer will pay: We're waiting on insurance approval for the surgery.
The term often implies bureaucratic delay and uncertainty about whether coverage will be granted.
