MEDIA RELEASE

Keiki Care ended Dec. 31, 2008. However, federal reauthorization of the children’s health insurance program (CHIP) on Feb. 4 will encourage the state to revive Keiki Care.

In the meantime, HMSA Children’s Plan is currently available for $55 per month per child. Call 1-800-620-4672 on the Neighbor Islands for more information.

Hawaii Covering Kids helps to identify, enroll, and retain eligible children and youths in health insurance programs. We collaborate with federal, state, and community agencies to conduct outreach activities and help Med-QUEST simplify its processes.
