  • Maui terminations paused through the end of May 2024


Important Renewal Information for QUEST Members

After a 3-month pause, the Department of Human Services Med-QUEST Division (MQD) restarted the eligibility renewal process in December 2023. Please be on the lookout for your pink letter in the mail. For details on when you might receive your letter, click here

The pink letter may require a response to maintain health coverage. Be sure to read the letter and follow all instructions, if applicable.

Members can rest assured that their QUEST (Medicaid) coverage will remain active until their case is up for renewal.

Throughout the pandemic, all QUEST (Medicaid) members received continuous uninterrupted coverage amid the public health emergency. Starting in April 2023 and continuing into 2024, all residents who receive health care benefits through the Department of Human Services Med-QUEST Division (MQD) will be scheduled for a review of their eligibility.

In preparation for this renewal period, Med-QUEST asks members to do the following:

  • Be sure to update your contact information by logging into your account on Medical.mybenefits.hawaii.gov or by calling us at 808-432-5330 or 1-800-651-2237. For the hearing and speech impaired call TTY (711), Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except state holidays.
  • If you no longer need QUEST (Medicaid) coverage, call Med-QUEST at 1-800-316-8005, (TTY/TDD 711) to let them know.

Stay covered

If you don’t qualify for Medicaid, you have options. You might be able to buy a health plan through a health benefit exchange or continue your coverage with Kaiser Permanente. You can explore health plan options here.

What is QUEST Integration ?

QUEST Integration is a program of the State of Hawaii Department of Human Services (DHS) that provides health coverage, through managed care plans, for eligible lower-income Hawaii residents.

If you qualify for QUEST Integration and live on Oahu or Maui, you can choose Kaiser Permanente as your health plan. With 10 locations on Oahu and three on Maui, you can count on easy access to medical facilities close to where you live and work.

  • Quality care from the primary care physician of your choice at any Kaiser Permanente clinic, with support from nurses, specialists, therapists, pharmacists, and other health care professionals
