Aetna Agrees to Change the Way it Covers Eating Disorders

A lawsuit filed by about 100 New Jersey insurance customers has forced Aetna to agree to change its coverage for eating disorders. It will now cover eating disorders the same way it covers other mental illnesses.
"The company previously allowed 20 outpatient visits per year and 30 days of inpatient treatment...Aetna says it would pay for more care."
The insurance company has also agreed to pay $250,000 to the families involved in the lawsuit. Source: South Jersey Courier Post
