    Goidel et al. v Aetna Life Insurance Company
    U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York
    Case No. 1:21-cv-07619(VSB)

  • If Aetna has not already paid for artificial insemination procedures (intracervical insemination (“ICI”) or intrauterine insemination (“IUI”)) for which you submitted precertification requests or claims, or for which you submitted a Claim Form if you are a Category C or D Class Member, and those services would have been covered by your healthcare plan if not for the Definition of Infertility1, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE $2,300. If you incurred expenses in an amount greater than $2,300 for artificial insemination procedures that would have been covered by your healthcare plan but for Defendant’s Definition of Infertility, you may be entitled to additional compensation and should complete this Proof of Greater Covered Care Submission.

    Fully completed and signed Proof of Greater Covered Care Submissions must be received by the Settlement Administrator by August 26, 2025. Proof of Greater Covered Care Submissions will be evaluated by the Defendant, who will have sole discretion in determining what, if any, additional Dollars for Benefits Payment compensation you may be entitled to.

    Documentation that you provide as supporting evidence will not be returned. Please retain copies of your documents for your own records. You will be notified by mail and/or email if anything additional is needed for your Proof of Greater Covered Care Submission. Please make sure the Settlement Administrator has your current mail and email addresses. Use any of the following options to submit your form and documentation before August 26, 2025:

  • 1 For purposes of this settlement, the “Definition of Infertility” means Aetna’s Clinical Policy Bulletin No. 327 in effect when the Amended Complaint was filed, which required individuals without a sperm-producing partner to undergo 6 or 12 cycles of artificial insemination, depending on the individual’s age, in order to establish unexplained infertility and qualify for healthcare coverage of fertility services.
