HRS §393-15
Keeping health coverage while sick or in the hospital
If you are sick or in the hospital and cannot work, your employer must keep paying its share of your health insurance premium for a limited time. This continues for up to three months after the month you became sick, or as long as your employer keeps paying your regular wages, whichever is longer.

The statute, as written — Continuation of coverage in case of inability to earn wages
If an employee is hospitalized or otherwise prevented by sickness from working, the employer shall enable the employee to continue the employee's coverage by contributing to the premium the amounts paid by the employer toward such premium prior to the employee's sickness for the period that such employee is hospitalized or prevented by sickness from working. This obligation shall not exceed a period of three months following the month during which the employee became hospitalized or disabled from working, or the period for which the employer has undertaken the payment of the employee's regular wages in such case, whichever is longer.
