On May 22, 2003, Aetna and representatives of nearly 1 million doctors, including nearly 30 medical societies, announced an agreement to settle pending national class action litigation. The purpose of the agreement was to streamline communication between physicians and Aetna, reduce administrative complexity in the claims payment system and help improve the quality of health care. This agreement received final approval from U.S. District Court Judge Federico Moreno on October 24, 2003.
