Hawaii has the lowest uninsured rate in the nation at under 4%, largely due to the Hawaii Prepaid Health Care Act which requires employers to provide health insurance to employees working 20+ hours per week. Hawaii Health Connector (state marketplace) covers 25,000+. Medicare covers 265,000+ residents. Hawaii's tourism economy and military bases create unique coverage needs.

Makawao residents in Maui County have access to plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Ambetter, Cigna, Oscar Health, and Molina Healthcare through the ACA Marketplace and as off-marketplace private plans.

Health insurance premiums in Makawao depend on your age, plan type, and whether you qualify for ACA subsidies. Many Makawao residents who qualify for premium tax credits pay $0–$100/month for a Silver plan. Without subsidies, individual premiums typically range from $300–$700/month depending on age and plan tier. A licensed HI agent will calculate your exact subsidy amount for free.
Outside of the ACA Open Enrollment Period (November 1–January 15), you can still get coverage if you have a qualifying life event — such as losing a job, getting married, having a baby, or losing other coverage. This triggers a 60-day Special Enrollment Period. A licensed HI agent can confirm whether you qualify and help you enroll quickly.
