Hawai?i Residents Encouraged to Review Health Insurance Coverage Options

HONOLULU - The state of Hawai?i Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Insurance Division is encouraging residents who do not have health insurance coverage through their employer, to visit HealthCare.gov to compare plans. Open enrollment via the Health Insurance Marketplace lasts through January 15, 2025. Consumers who enroll by December 15, 2024, can secure coverage that starts January 1, 2025.

People who already have a Health Insurance Marketplace individual plan can update or upgrade their health plans during this period. Over 20,000 Hawai?i residents purchased plans through the Health Insurance Marketplace in 2024, and more than 17,000 received subsidies.

“Now is the time to comparison shop and secure the best coverage that fits your and your family’s needs and budget,” said Insurance Commissioner Gordon I. Ito. “Like everything else, healthcare costs are rising, so we hope everyone who qualifies for coverage will take advantage of this opportunity.”
