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.

Hawaii County residents can access Medicare Advantage plans from carriers including UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Aetna, Cigna, and Wellcare, among others.

A licensed Medicare agent will pull every plan available at your specific address at no cost.
Ocean View residents turning 65 should enroll during their 7-month Initial Enrollment Period, which starts 3 months before their 65th birthday month. Missing this window means waiting until the General Enrollment Period (January 1–March 31) and potentially facing a permanent late enrollment penalty on your Part B premium. If you have employer coverage, different rules apply — contact a licensed agent to confirm your exact timeline.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces Original Medicare with an all-in-one plan from a private carrier, typically offering lower premiums but requiring in-network providers in Hawaii County. A Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy works alongside Original Medicare to cover out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and coinsurance, giving you access to any provider nationwide that accepts Medicare. The right choice depends on your health needs, budget, and preferred providers.
