Case Details

Jury awarded $25.5 million jury verdict to the family of a woman who died from nasopharyngeal cancer after health insurer Aetna denied coverage for radiation therapy.

Additional Notes

Aetna denied proton beam therapy as 'experimental' despite Medicare coverage. Doctors reviewing the claim failed to spend sufficient time, were unqualified, overworked, and biased. Decision to deny was financial, not in patient's best interest.
