QUEST (Medicaid) renewal

What you need to know and do.

What is Medicaid renewal?

The State of Hawaii's Department of Human Services (DHS) Med-QUEST Division (MQD) reviews Medicaid cases to make sure Medicaid members are still eligible to keep getting medical assistance through Med-QUEST. Each year DHS sends a notice. If you have changes to report like change in address, income, or number of people in your household, you need to let MQD know by following the instructions in the notice and Renewal Form.

What documents will I need?

It will depend on what Med-QUEST needs from you in order to renew your eligibility. Open and read all mail from Med-QUEST. The letter will provide instructions and let you know if additional information is needed. Examples of what you may need to send:

Your birth certificate or driver’s license/state ID
Pay stubs or tax returns
Bank statements
Proof of address
Bills for housing, utilities and other expenses
Medical records
Record of immigration status

What happens if I miss the due date?

If you miss the due date, your benefits may end.
