## Direct answer
Before estimating replacement treatment, verify the item being replaced, prior service date, replacement interval, whether the interval applies by tooth, arch, prosthesis, or appliance, what documentation is required, source evidence, and estimate caveat.

## Capture before estimating
Item being replaced, prior service date, interval length, tooth/arch/prosthesis scope, documentation, source evidence, and caveat.

## Checklist
- Identify the exact treatment being replaced and the prior service date the payer recognizes.
- Ask whether the interval applies by tooth, arch, prosthesis, appliance, or patient history.
- Record documentation requirements such as radiographs, narratives, chart notes, or predetermination guidance.
- Preserve the verification source because replacement intervals are a common estimate-to-claim reconciliation issue.
