If you have Medicaid (is called Med-QUEST in Hawaii plan like HMSA) and need the same daily living supports offered by Kupuna Care (e.g., adult day care, personal care, homemaker services), you need to access Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS). Medicaid covers these more comprehensively once you meet a clinical "level of care".
How to Get the Services Under HMSA Medicaid:
Request a Level of Care Assessment: To unlock services. vou must be assessed
physician, Med-QUEST, or your HMSA caseworker to determine if you require an intermediate care facility or nursing facility level of care.
Leverage Case Management: Contact your assigned HMSA caseworker. If you don't have one, call HMSA QUEST Integration directly. They will outline the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) you qualify for.
Find a Participating Provider: Search through the HMSA QUEST Integration Health Plans directory to find contracted local adult day care facilities or home health agencies that take your Medicaid coverage.
Services Covered under HMSA Medicaid (QUEST Integration):
Once approved, Medicaid will generally cover the exact equivalents of Kupuna Care services, including:
Adult Day Health and Care: Daily therapeutic, social, and health activities.
Personal Care Assistance: Help with bathing, grooming, and dressing.
Chore and Homemaker Services: Light housework and meal preparation.
Respite Care: Temporary relief for primary caregivers.
Next Steps to Get Started:

Kupuna Care is for Seniors who don't have Medicaid or any private insurance.
, so I asked Google.com search bar:
on google search, I typed then pressed enter:
"Kupuna care is for those who do not qualify for medicaid or private owned then those who do have medicaid how do they get the same services under their for example HMSA medicaid provider?"
If you have Medicaid (via a Med-QUEST plan like HMSA) and need the same daily living supports offered by Kupuna Care (e.g., adult day care, personal care, homemaker services), you need to access Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS). Medicaid covers these more comprehensively once you meet a clinical "level of care".

Find a Participating Provider: Search through the HMSA QUEST Integration Health Plans directory to find contracted local adult day care facilities or home health agencies that take your Medicaid coverage.
Services Covered under HMSA Medicaid (QUEST Integration):
Once approved, Medicaid will generally cover the exact equivalents of Kupuna Care services, including:
-

-
Personal Care Assistance: Help with bathing, grooming, and dressing.
-

-
Respite Care: Temporary relief for primary caregivers.
Next Steps to Get Started:
Because Medicaid is managed care, exact benefits depend on a physician's evaluation.
Would you like me to: Hawaii Medicaid (from Google search box)
1. Help find the contact phone number for
HMSA QUEST Integration to request an assessment?
2. Explain the financial and medical requirements Med-QUEST uses to approve long-term services?
3. Clarify the differences between Kupuna Care and Medicaid-funded home care?
