Dedicated Denial Management Services in Hawaii: The 18-Month Recoupment Limit
Under HRS ยง 431:13-108, a Hawaii insurer, mutual benefit society, or HMO may not start recoupment or offset efforts more than 18 months after the provider received the original payment (72 months in cases of fraud). Before any recoupment, the plan must send written notice at least 30 days in advance showing the patient, date of service, amount paid, the reason, and how to appeal. Providers then have 60 days from receiving the notice to file that appeal.
Sixty days goes quickly when notices land in a general mailbox. Our denial management team logs every recoupment notice the day it arrives, checks it against the 18-month limit and the required notice contents, and files appeals well inside the 60-day window.

What Makes Our Hawaii
Denial Management Services Different
Hawaii's clean claims law protects providers only when deadlines are tracked, so our process is built around the calendar.
Recoupment Defense
Hawaii plans cannot start recoupment more than 18 months after payment, except in fraud cases. We check the payment date and required notice details before your practice returns money or accepts an offset.
Contest Notice Tracking
A plan contesting an electronic claim must tell you why within seven days. When no timely notice arrives, interest runs from day one, and we make sure it is calculated and paid.
15% Interest Recovery
Late payments on clean commercial claims earn 15% annual interest, and plans must add any interest of $2 or more automatically. We check every late payment to confirm that interest actually appears.
Med-QUEST Plan Routing
Hawaii's five QUEST Integration plans each run their own claims and appeals. We confirm the member's plan on every denial so appeals reach AlohaCare, HMSA, Kaiser, 'Ohana, or UnitedHealthcare correctly.
Root-Cause Fixes
Appeals recover money once. Fixing the eligibility check, missing modifier, or authorization gap behind a denial stops it from returning, so we report every cause back to your front desk and coders.
Monthly Accountability
Each month you see what was denied, appealed, paid, and still open. Your team knows where recovered revenue came from and which Hawaii payers keep causing the most problems.
Specialty Expertise That Works for You
Mediknocx works denials for practices across all 47 specialties we serve, from behavioral health to cardiology and radiology. Because denial work sits inside our full medical billing services, the fixes we find on appeal feed straight back into coding and charge entry for your specialty.
How Does Mediknocx Ensure Compliance
With Hawaii Denial Management Regulations?
No Surprises Act:
Patients treated out of network at in-network facilities, including by emergency, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, and neonatology providers, cannot be balance billed beyond in-network cost sharing. We check this before any denied balance reaches a patient statement.
Hawaii timely filing rules:
Filing limits come from each payer's contract and provider manual, including the five Med-QUEST health plans. Hawaii's clean claims timelines do not apply to Medicaid, Medicare, or self-insured employer claims, so we track those payers' own deadlines separately.
Hawaii billing transparency:
A contest or denial notice must identify the contested part of the claim and give the specific reason. Recoupment notices must list the patient, date of service, amount paid, reason, and appeal deadline. We reject notices that leave these out.
Payer-specific guidelines:
We follow the published rules of HMSA, Kaiser Permanente, and the Med-QUEST health plans: AlohaCare, HMSA, Kaiser Permanente, 'Ohana Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.
