Summary
HMSA has temporarily suspended all prior authorization reviews for healthcare providers serving patients in Maui County. This means services that normally require prior authorization approval can proceed without waiting for HMSA approval during this suspension period.

Immediately: Billing team should verify patient addresses to confirm Maui County residency for HMSA members. For confirmed Maui County patients, proceed with services that normally require HMSA prior authorization without obtaining approval first. Monitor HMSA communications for when this suspension ends and normal prior auth requirements resume.
