Case Summary

This class action by female employees at American Airlines, Inc. was filed on September 10, 2004, in the U.S. District Court Middle District of Tennessee.

This class action by female employees at American Airlines, Inc. was filed on September 10, 2004, in the U.S. District Court Middle District of Tennessee. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, sought class certification as well as declaratory and injunctive relief, claiming that the defendant's health plan insurance policy discriminated against female employees by providing less complete coverage to women.

The class action complaint alleged that the American's failure to provide the plaintiffs with health insurance coverage for prescription contraceptives constituted unlawful discrimination on the basis of sex. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant engaged in disparate treatment by excluding prescription contraceptives and related services from its employees benefit plan while covering other prescription medications, and that the defendant's practice of excluding prescription contraception from its health insurance plan, which were available for use only by women, resulted in disparate impact.

The requested relief included preliminary and permanent injunctions against the defendant from engaging in unlawful practices (including an injunction ordering the defendant to provide coverage for the full range of prescription contraceptive drugs and devices and coverage for contraceptive-related services); a judgment declaring that the unlawful practices violated Title VII (PDA); an order restraining the defendant from any retaliation against the plaintiff or any class member; and costs and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys' fees).

On July 6, 2009, the parties agreed upon a Stipulation of Settlement and Release. The agreement stated that the completion of the settlement would not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing on the defendant's part and that when settled, the case would be dismissed on the merits with prejudice as to the defendant. The settlement included the following terms and conditions:

  • that the conditional class certification be granted for purposes of the settlement only

  • that starting on January 1, 2011, the defendant's health insurance plan will offer coverage to pharmacy-filled prescription contraceptives, but will exclude all other contraceptives not specifically identified and authorized that require medical intervention (this coverage will remain in place for at least 3 years, but is subject to periodic plan changes and revisions).

  • The settlement stated that the defendant will be responsible for the costs of notice and attorney fees if the combined total is not in excess of $1,000,000 (class counsel will settle the division of these attorneys' fees and costs amongst themselves), and the defendant will provide a $10,000 incentive award to the named plaintiff for serving as the class representative.

A few days after reaching the settlement, the court certified plaintiffs' class for settlement purposes only and granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement. On September 30, 2009, the court granted final approval of the settlement. The court awarded $1,000,000 for reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and granted the $10,000 incentive award for the named plaintiff.
