## Direct answer
A treatment coordinator should not rely on active eligibility alone. The verification handoff should connect the planned procedure to remaining benefits, deductible, category coverage, frequency or replacement limits, documentation or predetermination requirements, COB details, evidence source, and clear wording that the estimate is not guaranteed payment.

## Capture before estimating
Planned treatment, active eligibility source, benefits remaining, deductible, category coverage, procedure limitations, documentation or predetermination needs, COB notes, and patient estimate wording.

## Checklist
- Compare the verification worksheet to the actual treatment plan before quoting patient portion.
- Confirm procedure-specific limits that can override broad category coverage.
- Check whether predetermination, radiographs, narratives, periodontal charting, or other documentation is recommended or required.
- Use the evidence source and caveat when explaining that final payment depends on claim processing.
