Haw. Code R. § 16-23-113 - Hospital services
(a) Subject to the
terms of the motor vehicle insurance policy, when hospitalization is required
for further treatment of a claimant, that claimant shall have a free choice of
a licensed hospital in the county where the injury occurred or in the county
where the claimant resides. If the claimant is in critical condition or unable
to express a choice, then the attending health care provider may designate the
hospital to which the claimant will be taken.
(b) Hospital charges shall be limited to ward
rates or the lowest prevailing rate at the hospital where the claimant is
confined, except if the nature of the injury requires private care, intensive
care, or isolation, as determined by the attending health care provider, in
which case the prevailing private rates may be charged.
(c) When a claimant is treated in the
emergency facility of a hospital, the allowable hospital charge for the use of
the emergency room shall be the established emergency room charge for that
particular hospital.
(d) All
hospital charges shall be itemized when a bill is submitted.
