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

SCR 120 is a procedural resolution requesting Hawaii's Auditor to assess the social and financial impacts of mandating health insurance coverage for continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). It specifically directs the Auditor to evaluate House Bill 820, which proposes requiring insurers to cover CGMs - a device providing real-time blood sugar monitoring - under Hawaii Revised Statutes §23-51. The resolution requires the Auditor to analyze effects on target groups (like the 108,600 adults with diabetes in Hawaii), coverage scope, and costs to insurers and patients. The resulting report, due before the 2026 legislative session, will inform whether HB 820 should proceed. This resolution itself does not change coverage but mandates a required assessment before the proposed mandate can be considered.
