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: Aetna Inc., Aetna Life Insurance Company

“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.
