On October 6, 2021, Insurance Commissioner Hayashida issued Memorandum 2021-13H, reminding insurers to post clear and complete explanations of coverage for gender identity services applicable to their plans prior to plan year 2022. Hawaii insurance regulations explicitly prohibit discrimination in health plans with respect to participation and coverage based on actual or perceived gender identity. This lines up Hawaii law with ACA Section 1557.
Employers with plans in Hawaii should familiarize themselves with this guidance.
