Aetna to cover IVF treatments for same-sex couples in national settlement
The settlement affects an estimated 2.8 million LGBTQ members nationwide and requires Aetna to cover treatments like IVF equally for same-sex couples.
- Aetna will cover fertility treatments like artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization for same-sex couples, as it does for heterosexual couples, in a national settlement of a class action lawsuit.
- An estimated 2.8 million LGBTQ members, including 91,000 Californians, will benefit from the settlement, and Aetna will pay at least $2 million in damages to eligible California-based members.
- Aetna's previous policy required enrollees to engage in unprotected heterosexual sexual intercourse without conceiving before qualifying for fertility benefits, discriminating against same-sex couples.
