Example Sentences
Emma Goidel said she and her spouse, Ilana Caplan, spent more than $50,000 on fertility treatments to conceive their second child after Aetna rejected several requests for coverage.
“You never know when you start trying to conceive and you have to do it at the doctor, how long it’s going to take and how much it’s going to cost,” Goidel said.
Goidel became pregnant with the couple’s second child after six cycles of artificial insemination — which each cost a few thousand dollars — and one unsuccessful, $20,000 attempt at in vitro fertilization, where an embryo is created by mixing eggs and sperm in a lab dish.
Goidel said she’s “thrilled” that Aetna changed its policy as part of the settlement, and she expects to be reimbursed.
This story has been corrected to show the plaintiff’s last name is Goidel, not Goins.
