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.

Settlement fund: $2M
Claim deadline: June 29, 2026
Represents: Mara Berton

“Recovery” and “exposure” refer to total disclosed settlement funds in associated cases, not money personally won or lost by an attorney. Settlements generally resolve disputed allegations without a finding that either side won. Data comes from public court dockets and may be incomplete.
