REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO ASSESS THE SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF PROPOSED MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORS.

HR 167 is a House Resolution requesting the Hawaii Auditor to assess the social and financial impacts of a proposed mandate requiring health insurance coverage for continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). This procedural resolution does not create new law but follows Hawaii Revised Statutes §23-51, which requires such assessments before mandating coverage. It specifically directs the Auditor to evaluate House Bill 820 (2025 session), which proposes expanding insurance mandates to include CGMs for diabetes management. The Auditor must submit findings by 20 days before the 2026 legislative session. This resolution affects the Auditor's office and informs future legislative decisions on CGM coverage.
