Does anybody know if services provided by holistic or "alternative" 
healers (i.e., non-M.D.s) are covered by health insurance carriers?

My carrier specifies that the services must be performed by a "legally
qualified physician."  It's unclear to me whether or not this includes
homeopaths, iridologists, herbalists, etc.

If anyone has dealt with this situation, I'd be interested in hearing 
about it.
