Hawaii SB3045 mandates health insurers to cover continuous glucose monitors for diabetes patients.

Hawaii SB3045 requires all health insurers, including those under Medicaid managed care programs, to cover continuous glucose monitors for individuals diagnosed with diabetes. This includes gestational diabetes, regardless of insulin treatment. The coverage must include necessary repairs and replacement parts and may be subject to copayment, deductible, and coinsurance provisions. The bill also allows the Department of Human Services to seek federal authorization and accept funds from gifts, grants, and donations to support the expansion of continuous glucose monitor access.
