Aetna settles LGBTQ+ fertility discrimination lawsuit, standardizing artificial insemination coverage and creating a $2M reimbursement fund.
Aetna, the health insurance subsidiary of CVS Health Corp., has agreed to settle a lawsuit accusing the company of discriminating against LGBTQ+ customers in need of fertility treatment. Under the settlement, Aetna will make coverage of artificial insemination standard for all customers nationally and ensure equal access to more expensive in-vitro fertilization procedures. The insurer will also set aside a $2 million fund to reimburse people who were denied reimbursement for artificial insemination under some of its commercial insurance plans in New York.
