sounds very strange I would ask why...

I really think you misunderstood. Maybe your doctor requires nutritian and psych appointments which the insurance will cover; but they won't cover the surgery itself. The more I think of it the more I think this may be your issue. Your policy either covers lap band surgery or it does'nt. I've never heard a company paying for the surgery but not the medical device itself. My insurnace is paying for the surgery, tests, and psych; but not Nut appointments for weight loss. They do cover Nut meetings for Cholesterol; so I will try to get them to code the appointments that way.

You should definitely call and ask more questions. That sounds a little odd although my insurance once covered the insertion of an IUD they just would not cover the IUD itself I had to pay cash for that part so I guess anything is possible.
