Hawaii Medical Insurance

If you live in Hawaii, your medical, dental, and vision coverage is provided through HMSA. You can choose between two medical plan options:

  • Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan: Covers in-network care only (except emergencies)
  • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan: Covers both in-network and out-of-network care

Both plans include coverage for preventive care, office visits, prescription drugs, and other healthcare services. The biggest difference between the plans is whether you want coverage for out-of-network providers.

Provider Search

A key factor in choosing a plan is whether your providers are in-network.
