A jury has instructed health insurer Aetna to pay an Oklahoma City family $25.5 million for denying a cancer patient’s claim for coverage for proton beam therapy.
The Oklahoman reports that the jury on Nov. 5 found that Aetna doctors didn’t spend enough time reviewing Orrana Cunningham’s case. The jury ruled that Aetna recklessly disregarded its duty to deal fairly and in good faith with Cunningham.
