yep, same goes for me...if i could find a doc with hmsa i would change for a change...from the horses mouth at kaiser-maui has better facilities and more participants=$0 per month premium...oahu has it all=$0 per month premium...bi more unhealthy participants, lousy facilities, low participants in program (same benifits/coverage on all islands)=$468.00 per year

it might be nice to have oahu folks pay $15.00 per month, maui folks pay $15.00 per month and us bi folks pay $15.00 per month...alls fair, and kaiser has $6.00 per month per participant in the hawaiian islands to throw at the bottom line...or get better facilities on the bi

health and peace to all for the new year

FWIW... I asked my doctor about the Kaiser hospital on Maui--thought I could get in a little vacation before surgery. He said HE prefers the quality of the Oahu hospital, and highly recommended going there. Incidentally, the EMTs on Oahu say the Kaiser ER is a lot better than Queens!

Yeah, I know WAY too much about hospitals.

Kaiser Senior Advantage plan pays for your plane ride to Oahu if you need medical care or referral testing. I was told that was the reason for the higher price.

i see, seniors on maui do not have to be flown to oahu...are the health care facilities that much better on maui?? if they are, fly me to maui...cut the pre-paid air tickets by half and cut the monthly premium by half, an call it good. last year, 2012, seniors on the big island paid $29.00 per month for the program mentioned above and the seniors on maui and oahu paid a big fat ZERO..
