What is Med-QUEST?
Med-QUEST is Hawaiʻi’s Medicaid health care program. It is a federal and state partnership that provides access to health insurance for low-income individuals and families. It offers important health benefits critical to maintaining your health and treating illness and accidents. The program gives access to a wide range of services, including doctor visits, hospital stays, preventive care, mental health care, needed medications, and more! Make sure you have the health insurance you need to stay healthy and safe. Now more people than ever before are eligible.
* For those who don’t qualify for Med-QUEST, Healthcare.gov offers Special Enrollment allowing qualifying Hawaiʻi residents to access health insurance outside of the typical open enrollment period.
Project Vision Hawaiʻi is in partnership with the Med-QUEST Division, Kōkua Services Program
You can enroll any time - but why wait? Even if you were turned down in the past, you may qualify now!
No one plans to get sick or hurt, but most people need medical care at some point. Health insurance covers these costs and offers many other important benefits. Make sure you have the health insurance you need to stay healthy and safe.
PVH has certified application counselors on staff to help you access health insurance options and apply. Call us at (808) 201-3937 or send us an email at kokua@projectvisionhawaii.org. Getting coverage has never been easier!
