🟣 BREAKING: AETNA SETTLES LIPEDEMA LAWSUIT ⚖️
After years of denying coverage for life-changing liposuction surgery by calling it "cosmetic," yesterday Aetna agreed to settle a federal class action lawsuit brought by a patient with Stage 3 lipedema.
This is a BIG win for our community. 🙌
💥 The case challenged Aetna’s blanket denials of surgery for lipedema.
💥 A federal judge had certified a class of patients affected.
💥 Now, Aetna must settle — and that could mean reprocessing old claims and notifying patients of their rights.
This isn’t just a legal victory — it’s validation. Ledema is real. The pain is real. And so is the fight for treatment.
We’ll be following the settlement process and sharing what it means for patients who were denied surgery. If you're into reading legal things, here's a link to the case files: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/15084001/kazda-v-aetna-life-insurance-company/
