Bill > HB1180

This bill requires health insurance coverage for various sexual and reproductive health care services. Specifically, it mandates that all individual and group health insurance plans in Hawaii cover a wide range of preventive services, including well-woman visits, screening and counseling for sexually transmitted infections, contraceptive supplies and services, abortion, and other essential reproductive healthcare. The bill also prohibits discrimination in the coverage of these services based on factors like race, gender, or sexual orientation. Additionally, the bill requires insurers to provide written notice to policyholders about the required coverage and sets forth provisions related to network adequacy and reimbursement. The bill is aimed at preserving access to reproductive healthcare and essential benefits in light of potential changes to the federal Affordable Care Act.
