HRS §435E-21
When a doctor can retire from the medical trust
A doctor who has fully retired from medicine at age 65 and is following the trust rules can retire from the shared insurance plan. After retiring, they do not have to pay future assessments, but their coverage continues for past incidents. Their initial payment is returned after 10 years or earlier if the trust says so.
The statute, as written — Retirement of member
A participating member who is then in full compliance with the trust agreement and who has reached the age of sixty-five and who has retired completely from the practice of medicine may elect to retire from the interindemnity arrangement, in which case the member shall not be responsible for assessments levied following the date notice of retirement is given to the trust. Following retirement, the indemnity coverage shall continue for the benefit of the member in respect of occurrences prior to the time the member retired from the interindemnity arrangement. The retired member's initial contribution shall be repaid ten years from the date the notice of retirement is received by the trust, or such earlier date as specified in the trust agreement.
