Your Hawaii Medicare Options Explained
Medicare Advantage (Part C)
An “all-in-one” alternative that combines hospital, doctor, and usually drug coverage (Parts A, B, and D) into one private plan. Many Hawaii Advantage plans include extras like dental, vision, and Silver&Fit gym memberships at local gyms. HMSA, Humana, and Kaiser are popular providers in Oahu and throughout the Islands.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
Helps pay for costs Original Medicare doesn’t cover, like deductibles and co-pays. Medigap gives you freedom to see any doctor nationwide who accepts Medicare—a huge plus for Hawaii residents who travel to the mainland or want flexibility in choosing providers. Plan choices and premiums vary; we’ll help you find the right fit for your needs.
Medicare Part D (Prescription Drug Plans)
Standalone drug coverage that helps pay for prescriptions not included in Original Medicare. Hawaii’s top Part D plans are available from trusted insurers like WellCare, Humana, and Aetna. We’ll review your medications and match you with a plan that keeps your costs as low as possible.
