Bill > SR101

This resolution requests the State Auditor to conduct an impact assessment of proposed mandatory health insurance coverage for continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), as outlined in House Bill No. 820 for the 2025 Regular Session. The resolution stems from Hawaii Revised Statutes sections 23-51 and 23-52, which require a detailed evaluation of proposed health insurance coverage mandates, and provides context about the state's diabetes population (approximately 108,600 adults or 9.5% of the adult population) and the potential benefits of CGMs in managing blood glucose levels. The Auditor is specifically requested to assess the social and financial effects of mandating CGM coverage, including details about the specific health service, extent of coverage, target groups, utilization limitations, and standards of care. The Auditor is required to submit a comprehensive report with findings and recommendations no later than twenty days before the 2026 Regular Session, with certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Auditor, Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and Insurance Commissioner.
