Hawaii Billing Notes
HMSA (the Hawaii Blue Cross Blue Shield plan) covers the majority of commercially insured Hawaiians. Prior authorization is required for ART procedures.
Kaiser Permanente Hawaii is an HMO — all IVF services must be performed within the Kaiser system or with a Kaiser referral. Out-of-network claims will be denied.
Hawaii has a small number of fertility specialists. Some patients may travel to the mainland (typically California) for treatment. Coordinate billing for out-of-state treatment episodes.
Hawaii Standard Time (UTC-10) means a 5-6 hour gap with mainland payer customer service. Plan prior auth calls and billing inquiries accordingly.
