Current beneficiaries of Med-QUEST, the state’s Medicaid program, will continue to be covered through at least the end of the year without interruption. There will be exceptions for those who voluntarily ask Med-QUEST to end their coverage, those who have moved out of state or those who are deceased, according to a Sept. 10 news release from the governor’s office.
Hawaii had previously paused redeterminations for Maui County residents for the remainder of 2023.
If Med-QUEST can successfully renew a beneficiary’s eligibility at this time, a coverage confirmation letter will be mailed to that person, according to the release. If Med-QUEST is unable to renew coverage, a member’s renewal date will be pushed to a new month after the pause.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 17–19 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
