Not needing any preauthorizations sound fishy to me and believe me I would want something in writing stating they were payiing for any expensive procedure cause bottom line is you are responsible if the insurance company does not pay in most cases and most of us cant afford out of pocket expenses in the 10s of thousands of dollars. If you notice when you call your insurance carrier for any info you always get that lovely recording stating that anything they tell you can change so my policy is get it in writing or I dont depend on it
