Requires those entities to provide applicants and insured persons with clear information about the coverage of gender transition services, including the process for appealing a claim denied on the basis of medical necessity.”

  • Haw. Rev. Stat. § 432D - (HMO)
  • Haw. Rev. Stat. § 432:1 - (individual and group hospital and medical service policy)
  • Haw. Rev. Stat. § 431:10A - (individual and group accident and health or sickness policy)
    Summary:

    (A) Health care services related to gender transition; provided that there is coverage under the policy, contract, plan, or agreement for the services when the services are not related to gender transition; and

    (B) Health care services that are ordinarily or exclusively available to individuals of one sex.”
