When it comes to Medicare in Hawaii, the most important thing to understand is that you are choosing between two paths, not two products. The real choice is Traditional Medicare (Parts A and B) versus Medicare Advantage (Part C).
If you choose the Traditional Medicare path, you can see any doctor or hospital in Hawaii - or anywhere in the U.S. - that accepts Medicare. Because Traditional Medicare has gaps in coverage, many people choose to add a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan. The supplement decision comes AFTER you choose Traditional Medicare - it's a component of the Traditional path, not an alternative to Advantage. By law, a supplement fills the gaps in your coverage, giving you predictable out-of-pocket costs.
If you choose the Medicare Advantage path, you are opting for a private insurance plan that replaces your Traditional Medicare. These plans often include Part D prescription drug coverage and may offer extra benefits, but they typically require you to use a network of local doctors and hospitals.
In Hawaii, you have access to several top-rated carriers for both Medigap and Medicare Advantage plans. Whether you're in Honolulu, Hilo, or anywhere else in the state, your local Medicare office can also be a resource for basic enrollment questions.

Do I need a Medicare Supplement plan in Hawaii?
If you choose Traditional Medicare, a Medigap plan is highly recommended to cover the out-of-pocket costs that Medicare doesn't pay, such as deductibles and coinsurance.
Can I switch from Medicare Advantage to Traditional Medicare in Hawaii?
Yes, you can switch during specific enrollment periods, such as the Annual Enrollment Period in the fall or the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period early in the year.
