HRS §435E-1
Who counts as a doctor and who is the commissioner
This section defines two key terms used in the law. It says the commissioner is the state insurance commissioner. It also says a physician or surgeon is a person or company licensed to practice medicine or osteopathic medicine under state law.
The statute, as written — Definitions
Unless the context clearly requires otherwise: "Commissioner" means the insurance commissioner of this State. "Physician" or "surgeon" means any person licensed to practice medicine or osteopathic medicine under chapter 453; or any professional corporation, partnership, or other entity whose stockholders or partners are comprised solely of persons licensed under chapter 453.
