Aetna Expands Fertility Coverage to Include IUI

The insurer's new policy will provide broader access to intrauterine insemination for diverse family-building needs.

Aetna is the first major insurer to cover IUI as a medical benefit for eligible plans.
The policy change takes effect nationwide on September 1, 2024, for many plans.
The new coverage aims to support LGBTQ+ and unpartnered individuals seeking fertility treatments.
Aetna's decision follows a lawsuit settlement over previous coverage restrictions.
The move aligns with growing political focus on reproductive rights and access to fertility services.
