(314) 500-HURTContraceptive class action lawsuit in the state of Illinois, $600,000 fund to pay women employees wrongfully denied
coverage for contraceptive prescriptions. Until July 1, 2004, the State of Illinois’s Quality Care Health Plan, and some
other State-sponsored health plans, did not provide coverage for prescription contraceptives. This lawsuit is about
whether the State’s past exclusion of prescription contraceptives from its Quality Care Health Plan constituted sex
discrimination in violation of Title VII, and if so, whether the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution
bars recovery for monetary relief.
Burger Law finalized a settlement against the State of Illinois for denying
contraception as part of its health care plan to female employees. This suit was successful in changing the health
policies of the State of Illinois to provide women health insurance coverage for prescription contraceptive
medicine. The class is over 50,000 women and was certified about eight years ago through extensive litigation and
negotiation, we were able to set up a fund with the state from which women made claims for their out-of-pocket costs
for contraception. We are happy and proud to get this recovery for women from all 50 states. Please call us, write
us or email us with questions about class action of sex discrimination questions.
