  • Cold, flu, and fever
  • Cough, aches, and sore throat
  • Allergies, skin rash, and irritation
  • Urinary tract/bladder infection
  • Ear infections
  • Sinus infections
  • Migraine/headache
  • And more

Transportation

Our Med Quest plan provides unlimited round trips to and from health care locations. That includes rides to:

  • Doctor or therapy visits
  • Health departments
  • Vision clinics
  • Urgent care centers
  • Pharmacies

Keeping a healthy weight. Stopping unhealthy habits. Doing what’s needed to keep you and your family healthy. It all may seem impossible at times. But we have programs that can help. Our UnitedHealthcare Healthy Behaviors program gives you access to a personal health coach and resources to help with things like:

  • Losing weight
  • Quitting smoking
  • Substance abuse
  • Pregnancy and newborn care (UnitedHealthcare Healthy First Steps®)

Our health coaches work with you and your doctor(s) to help you set goals and track progress. You’ll also have the chance to get rewards when you reach certain milestones.

What is Medicaid Med_QUEST?

Medicaid is a program for people with low income who meet certain eligibility requirements and programs can vary from state-to-state.

Who is eligible for Medicaid Med QUEST?

If you do play video games, play interactive ones where you have to move. You don’t even have to leave the house to move – try exercises like jumping jacks, marching in place, going up and down stairs, push-ups or sit-ups at home.

Walk! Take a walk with a friend outside. Walk your dog or your neighbor’s dog, or walk your cat! Instead of driving, walk or bike to school or a friend’s house.

Clean! Vacuum your room. Wash the car. Mow the lawn. Your parents will be happy, and it’s another chance for you to get more exercise, and maybe even have some fun.

Unplug! Limit your time watching TV or using your smartphone, computer or other device. Keep screen time to less than two hours a day. When you do watch TV or use your phone – try marching in place or exercising while you watch/play.

To qualify for Medicaid, potential members or their children must:

  • Be a Hawai‘i resident
  • Be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident
  • Meet certain resource and income limits
  • Fit into one of these groups:
    • Parent and caretaker relatives
    • Children
    • Pregnant women
    • New adult group
    • Non-U.S. citizen needing emergency medical services
    • Children or pregnant women who are medically needy due to high medical bills

What documents are needed to apply for Medicaid Med-QUEST?

When applying for services, potential members will need to take or mail (if available) the following documents:

  • Pay stubs or other papers to show all family members' monthly income.
  • Social Security numbers for all individuals who want Medicaid (not required for children less than 6 months of age).
  • Papers that show family resources for all individuals who want Medicaid (for example: bank records, make, model, and year of your vehicles). This is not needed if they are applying because someone is pregnant or if they are applying only for children (age 18 or younger).
  • Legal resident papers if the potential member is not a U.S. citizen and he/she wants Medicaid for them self.
  • Proof of residence (for example: gas, electric, or water bill, letter from his/her landlord). This is not needed if applying only for children (age 18 and younger).
  • NOTE: Potential members may ask a friend or other person you choose to be their "authorized representative" to apply for him/her. He/she may also ask for a language or a sign interpreter to help him/her apply. Ask for an interpreter when calling to set up an appointment.
