HRS §323G-5

Insurance must still cover what it already promised

This section says that nothing in this chapter takes away a health plan's duty to pay for care it already agreed to cover. If an insurance policy or contract says a service is covered, that coverage still applies.

The statute, as written — Preservation of coverage

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to remove the obligation of a third-party payer to cover a health care item or service that the third-party payer is obligated to provide to a patient under the terms of a valid agreement, insurance policy, plan, or certification of coverage or health maintenance organization contract.
