Med-QUEST is excited to provide this information on the restoration of Medicaid access for our friends and neighbors who are citizens from one of the Compact of Free Association (COFA) Nations (Republic of the Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau, Federated States of Micronesia.)  We are delighted that this long-advocated for change has finally come.  Our Congressional delegation, spearheaded by Senator Hirono and Senator Schatz, are to be commended for their successful negotiations in getting this measure passed.  Here is some key information:

• Effective 12/27/2020,  Hawaii residents who are citizens of one of the COFA Nations will have access to Medicaid coverage.
• While Hawai‘i has continued to provide coverage to eligible children and pregnant women and has used State-only funds to cover those who are 65 and over, blind, or disabled, this new law restores federal funding and support of Medicaid for all COFA citizens who reside in the U.S.
