preauthorize
Grant advance permission
To preauthorize is to approve something in advance—especially a financial transaction or medical procedure.
Credit card holds at hotels and gas stations are preauthorizations: The rental company preauthorized $500 on my card.
In healthcare, insurance companies preauthorize treatments before patients receive them, determining what they'll cover.
