Aetna Insurance Settlement
Court case: Sharon Prolow and Mark Lemmerman v. Aetna Life Insurance Company
Sharon Prolow and Mark Lemmerman v. Aetna Life Insurance Company, Case No. 9:20-cv-80545 (S.D. Fla.), covers ERISA health plan members whose proton beam therapy (PBT) claims for localized prostate cancer were denied by Aetna between January 1, 2015, and March 31, 2024. Submitting a Settlement Claim Form is the only way to get paid: a complete, timely form gets you $12,000, and proof that your PBT costs or debt topped $12,000 can raise that to as much as $48,000, from the $3.423 million Settlement Fund. Forms are due October 3, 2025.
Official eligibility wordingYou may be eligible if you were a member, participant, and/or beneficiary of an ERISA-governed employee welfare benefit plan administered and/or insured by Aetna and, between January 1, 2015, and March 31, 2024, received denials of all precertification requests and post-service claims for proton beam therapy (PBT) to treat localized prostate cancer (or were approved for precertification but had all post-service PBT claims denied). Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on September 20, 2026.

You're excluded if another carrier covered the PBT or an alternative treatment, or if the denial was for an administrative reason like not being covered under an Aetna plan.
