Get health coverage at low or no cost to you
If you’re a Hawaii resident without access to other health coverage, you may get high-quality health care through CHCP.
What is CHCP?
CHCP is for Oahu and Maui residents who can’t get any other health coverage. CHCP members receive a subsidy to help pay monthly premiums, and do not have to pay copays or out-of-pocket costs for most care at Kaiser Permanente facilities.
