Insurance giant Aetna is in some serious how water over its treatment of it’s LGB customers compared to its straight customers when it comes to fertility treatments.

Plaintiff Emma Goidel filed a class-action lawsuit in Manhattan in which she claimed that she and her spouse had to pay $45,000 for fertility treatments due to the fact that Aetna requires same-sex couples to pay for treatment out of pocket before they are eligible for coverage.

While straight couples who are trying to conceive through intercourse can receive coverage from Aetna simply by saying that they have tried for six or 12 months, couples of other sexual orientations or genders who cannot conceive through intercourse must initially pay out of pocket for six or 12 months of intrauterine insemination (IUI), according to the complaint.

The Hill

The lawsuit called the costs prohibitive and referenced a February report from New York’s Department of Financial Services stating that policies like Aetna’s infringed upon state law.
