Bill > HB1452

This bill requires insurers, mutual benefit societies, and health maintenance organizations in Hawaii to provide coverage for standard fertility preservation services for individuals under 26 years of age who may undergo medically necessary treatment that could directly or indirectly cause infertility. The bill prohibits these policies from using prior diagnosis or treatment as a basis for excluding or limiting coverage, or discriminating based on the insured's expected lifespan, disability, medical dependency, or other health conditions. The coverage must be based on clinical guidelines from the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The bill also adds the new coverage requirement to the list of mandated benefits for health maintenance organizations in Hawaii.
