Hawaii HB1670 expands insurance coverage for autism diagnosis and treatment, removing age limits and benefit caps.

Hawaii HB1670 amends insurance laws to ensure coverage for autism diagnosis and treatment without age limits or benefit caps. The bill requires insurance policies to cover autism diagnosis and treatment for all ages, removing the previous fourteen-year age limit. It also eliminates the $25,000 annual cap on coverage for applied behavioral analysis services. The bill mandates that insurers include autism service providers in their networks, provided these providers meet state and federal background check requirements. Insurers must notify policyholders about these coverage changes.
