have entered into a written settlement agreement to resolve her lawsuit in which she asked a federal judge to order the trustees to resume coverage of her treatment for recurrent malignant ovarian cysts, which have afflicted the two-time Oscar-winning actress for nearly 12 years.in U.S.
In 2015, however, “the Trustees reversed course and stopped allowing Swank’s claims for treatment of ovarian cysts,” the suit stated. “It also just so happened that around the same time as when the Trustees no longer agreed to allow Swank’s claims, Swank was undergoing procedures to preserve her ability to conceive in the future.
The suit adds: “This matter addresses the shockingly antiquated question of whether the sole purpose of a woman, and specifically her ovaries, is to procreate. When faced with a claim for insurance benefits for the medically necessary treatment of ovarian cysts and endometriosis, the Trustees answered ‘yes,’ determining that there could be no possible reason to treat those conditions other than for the purpose of trying to conceive.
In reaching their settlement agreement, both parties must still file a stipulation of dismissal, at which time the court can dismiss the case with prejudice, resolving the matter once and for all. That could take another two to three weeks. In his Aug. 9 order, U.S. District Court Judge John A. Kronstadt wrote that “In light of the parties’ Notice of Settlement, the Court orders that the action is dismissed without prejudice.
