RE: S.B. No. 1237
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2019
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Health and Human Services & Homelessness, to which was referred S.B. No. 1237, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The Department of Health, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, State Health Planning and Development Agency, Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund, Executive Office on Aging, and University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa College of Social Sciences testified in support of this measure.
Your Committees have amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to promote further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
Your Committees find that Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) makes up approximately half of all Medicare patients in the State. Your Committees find that this measure serves only to expand the data collected in the All-Payer Claims Database to include administrative data for Medicare Advantage health benefit plans.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Human Services & Homelessness that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1237, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1237, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Human Services & Homelessness,
