RE:   H.B. No. 824

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Human Services and Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 824 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HUMAN SERVICES,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to require Medicaid and QUEST to cover chiropractic care with a limit of 24 visits per calendar year, and to direct the Department of Human Service (DHS) to amend the state Medicaid plan accordingly to allow the state to receive federal reimbursement.  This bill makes an appropriation for these purposes.

 

     DHS testified in opposition to this measure.

 

     Your Committees have amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Health that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 824, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 824, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Health,
