pre-authorization
Prior consent obtained
Pre-authorization is approval obtained before a transaction or procedure takes place.
In healthcare, insurance companies require pre-authorization for certain treatments, confirming they'll cover the cost before care begins: The surgery requires pre-authorization from your insurer.
With credit cards, a pre-authorization temporarily holds funds to verify the account can cover a pending charge—common at hotels and gas stations.
