FILE - A sign sits on the campus of the insurance and managed health care company Aetna, Aug. 28, 2020, in Hartford, Conn. Aetna has agreed to settle a lawsuit that accused the health insurer of discriminating against LGBTQ+ patients.
A CVS Health spokesman said the company was pleased to resolve the case and “committed to providing quality care to all individuals regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”The settlement stems from a 2021 lawsuit filed in a federal court in New York. Emma Goidel said she and her spouse, Ilana Caplan, spent more than $50,000 on fertility treatments to conceive their second child after Aetna rejected several requests for coverage.
“You never know when you start trying to conceive and you have to do it at the doctor, how long it’s going to take and how much it’s going to cost,” Goidel said. “It was unexpected, to say the least.” Goidel said she’s “thrilled” that Aetna changed its policy as part of the settlement, and she expects to be reimbursed.
