Coverage checker notes
The checker stores broad insurance type and state in the shared journey profile, then combines those fields with locally entered BMI, weight, and selected health conditions to surface prior authorization talking points. Coverage rules change by plan, state, diagnosis, employer policy, and formulary, so the final answer should always come from the insurer or benefits administrator.
