Kaiser Resumes Paying All Covid Costs In Hawaii As Hospitalizations Rise …. Health officials reported 845 new coronavirus cases and four more deaths on Friday.
Kaiser Permanente is bringing back its cost waivers for Hawaii members who need medical care for Covid-19 as the state scrambles to deal with rising coronavirus-related hospitalizations.
Along with many other health insurance companies, Kaiser imposed a waiver for Covid-related costs on April 1 to help patients better afford care.
The company chose to end that on July 31, as part of a nationwide policy shift. But the change came just as Hawaii cases were skyrocketing.
