Nicotine gum is regulated by FDA. Hypnosis is not, unless a medical claim is attached to it (e.g., this will help you lower your blood pressure/heal your diverticulitis/quit stinkies). Acupuncture is, under an arm of FDA that deals with complementary medicine - specifically because it uses a "device" (needles).
Oh, c'mon, biggie. U know I was just bustin' yer bunz. The vids are great and entertaining. In fact, that wuz one o' yer best ones!
They do it for life insurance before issuing a policy someimes, but never heard of that for health insurance either

Just to pique the curiosity of a few......the "Wicked Witch of the West" is appearing on camera tonight....
We do all these thing with our PC Dr, my Rhuematologist, & Mom's Cardiologist. Thatvs 4-5 eval's a year. The insurance company is just over kill. It seems to me that if our Dr's think it's something we need they'll suggest it. They've been good at doing it so far. I don't think it's something I want my insurance company involved in. They can pay the bills, that is the only reason they exist for me.My dad's insurance co sent someone to see him after mama died. A social worker came to see if was depressed (of course he was, but she wanted to gauge the extent), and make sure he could navigate the house. Some of her suggestions were quite helpful. And dad offered her tea, a cookie, and 30 minutes of conversation
I know this is very different from what you're talking about, @Kenna. Dad's insurance is through a local hospital group, and they seem to be very compassionate.
