Berton v Aetna Infertility Coverage Settlement
Aetna allegedly denied equal insurance coverage for infertility treatment (IUI, ICI) to LGBTQ+ individuals seeking to get pregnant. While straight couples only needed to attest to 12 months of frequent intercourse to qualify as infertile and receive coverage, LGBTQ+ individuals had to pay out-of-pocket for up to 12 cycles of artificial insemination first to qualify for coverage. Aetna denies wrongdoing and no final court ruling has been made.
