does anybody have this insurance? i was told i had to have a psych exam, and chest xray, blood work ekg 6 months of supervised diet which i finished all this then insteaad of sending me a letter of denial or acceptance, they send out a letter saying they need more info such as a dietition, urine test to test for drugs and a blood test to check for stomach ulcers. now im tryin to figure out if they are considering it since they want these extra tests or they just messing me around. im really confused.

Sounds to me like they just want more info to back up their decision. If they were going to tell you no, you would have already gotten the denial. It could still come back as a denial, but I would call them to get understand "specifically" what they want and then provide it. This happened to me and it was frustrating, but stick with it. It will be worth it in the end.

I have Definity and though they might not exclude the band my employer has put a claus in there and they do not offer it.

I would check with the employer guidlines first then with Definity.
