Hawaii Medicaid: HOKU registration required
As of Dec. 31, 2023, all health care professionals who serve QUEST Integration enrollees must register as Medicaid providers, per the Hawaii Department of Human Services. This requirement is applicable to new and existing provider contracts, as well as renewal and recredentialing contracts.
What this means for you
To get reimbursed for providing care to patients who are UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Hawaii members, you must enroll with HOKU, the new Med-QUEST Division (MQD) enrollment system. If you’re not registered in HOKU on Jan. 1, 2024, all claims submitted from that date forward will be denied.
How to enroll
Go to the HOKU Provider Enrollment System to register. You can also access training and resources on the site, and review frequently asked questions.
