Health Plan Choice

Our Coverage Travels with You

HMSA members can be assured of medical coverage while traveling outside Hawaii. HMSA belongs to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield network of health care providers in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. HMSA is the only health plan in Hawaii that offers nationwide provider networks for both preferred provider and HMO programs.

All HMSA plans cover emergency care services; our Guest Membership program covers HMO plan members temporarily living on the Mainland. With 280,600 primary care physicians, 502,100 specialists, and 6,200 facilities nationwide, HMSA members can rely on the BlueCard program for access to the nation’s largest network of providers for care outside Hawaii. In 2009, the BlueCard program saved our members $97 million in out-of-pocket expenses.
