The CVS Health company Aetna announced a "landmark policy change" on Tuesday, that it would expand its coverage of fertility services to include intrauterine insemination (IUI) as a medical benefit for eligible plans. It is the first major health insurer to do so.
“Expanding IUI coverage is yet another demonstration of Aetna’s commitment to women’s health across all communities, including LGBTQ+ and unpartnered people,” Dr. Cathy Moffitt, Senior Vice President and Aetna Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, said in a press release. "This industry-leading policy change is a stake in the ground, reflecting Aetna's support of all who need to use this benefit as a preliminary step in building their family."
