QUEST Integration

QUEST Integration is the latest incarnation of Hawaii's 1115 Waiver program for integrated, managed Medicaid services.  It has been in operation since 2013.  Previously, Hawaii had a separate program for Medicaid recipients receiving LTSS, which was known as QUEST Expanded Access, or QExA.  Enrollment is mandatory.
 

Capitation rates for QUEST Integration vary by age, gender, island of residence, and Medicaid eligibility group, such as Medicaid expansion, "Aged/blind/disabled" (ABD), and CHIP.  Two rates are used for the ABD category, according to whether the person is also covered under Medicare.  These are both blended rates, determined by stratifying members according to their LTSS needs and residential setting.
