I have the federal employee's group health insurance with Aetna (one of
the major national plans). They cover chiropractors on a year-by-year, 
state-by-state basis. For example, in 1984, Missouri was considered
"underserved" by physicians, and therefor Aetna will pay claims for
bills from chiropractors for that year for Missouri residents. This
was not true for 1983, and I believe it is not true for 1985 --
the finding will vary from year to year.

I don't know if this only refers to chiropractors or to other forms
of alternative treatment too.
