precertified

Vetted in advance

Precertified means approved or authorized in advance, typically by an institution that will later need to act on that approval.

Insurance companies precertify medical procedures before patients undergo them: The surgery was precertified by my health plan.

Lenders precertify borrowers for mortgages.

The term signals that formal verification has already occurred, streamlining what follows.
