Anyone have experience getting insurance to reimburse for renal food or SubQ?

I have pet insurance for my newly diagnosed CKD cat, and saw my policy says prescription food is covered as long as it's for medical treatment and not for diet. I was wondering if anyone has experience filing claims for prescription renal food (he is on that now) or other recurring expenses like subQ (he's not there yet but the vet has mentioned not far off)?

Advice for stage 2 cat going into dental procedure?

My 15yo cat is newly diagnosed as CKD (stage 2). He is scheduled for dental work soon (extractions). Vet said his current numbers didn't preclude the procedure. It's his first time going under since his diagnosis. I'm wonder if anyone has advice on special care he'll need after anesthesia or things to be on the lookout for?
