HRS §432E-31
Which health plans this law covers
This section says which health insurance plans the law applies to. It covers health carriers, but it does not cover many limited or special plans like dental-only, vision-only, accident-only, Medicare supplements, or self-funded union trust funds. It is a narrow rule about scope.
