I had Aetna...but the info is really not helpful because the policy could be through the same insurance company and have totally different coverage and approval processes depending on what type of policy was purchased by the company and what exclusions were put into the policy.

Aetna. As Lori said, though, since many companies are self-insured and determine what coverage they want to offer employees (WLS coverage, chiropractic coverage, etc.), even if you have the same insurance company, it does not mean that your plan will be the same as someone else's.
