Aetna agrees to settle lawsuit over fertility coverage for LGBTQ+ customers

(AP)—The health insurer Aetna has agreed to settle a lawsuit over whether its fertility treatment coverage discriminates against LGBTQ+ patients.

The insurer will make coverage of artificial insemination standard for all customers nationally and work to ensure that patients have equal access to more-expensive in-vitro fertilization procedures.

A CVS Health spokesman says the company was pleased to resolve the case and committed to providing care to all individuals.

A federal judge still must approve the deal, which was announced Friday.
