The Company reserves the right to challenge, dispute and/or revoke a prior determination of Medical Necessity based upon subsequent information obtained. Pre-certification is not an assurance, authorization, preauthorization, or verification of Treatment or coverage, a verification of benefits, or a guarantee of payment. The fact that Treatment or supplies are Pre-certified by the Company does not guarantee the payment of benefits, the availability of coverage, or the amount of or eligibility for benefits.

Any consideration or determination of a Pre-certification request shall not be deemed or considered as the Company’s approval, authorization, or ratification of, recommendation for, or consent to any diagnosis or proposed course of Treatment.
