Hawaii Medicare Advantage Plans for Chronic Conditions in 2027: 3 C-SNPs

HONOLULU — For the 2027 plan year, Hawaii residents with Medicare will see three Chronic Condition Special Needs Plans (C-SNPs) listed statewide in the federal Medicare Advantage Landscape. These are specialized Medicare Advantage plans built around people living with a specific long-term health condition, and they sit alongside the broader menu of 46 Medicare Advantage plans in Hawaii for 2027, which also includes 6 D-SNPs and 0 I-SNPs.

The three C-SNPs are all offered by a single carrier, Devoted Health. Availability, as always, is decided county by county, so a plan listed in the statewide total may or may not appear where you live. The full plan list is shown in the tables on this page.

What is a C-SNP and who qualifies for one in Hawaii in 2027?

A C-SNP is a type of Medicare Advantage plan limited to people who have a specific severe or disabling chronic condition that Medicare recognizes, and enrollment requires that a provider confirm the diagnosis. If the condition cannot be verified, the plan cannot keep the enrollment.

Qualifying conditions are defined by CMS and include categories such as diabetes, chronic heart failure, cardiovascular disorders, and several others. Each C-SNP serves one condition or a defined group of related conditions, and the plan's benefits, drug list, and care management are designed around that condition. Beyond the chronic-condition requirement, the usual Medicare Advantage rules apply: you must have Medicare Part A and Part B and live in the plan's service area.

How many C-SNPs are offered in Hawaii for 2027, and who offers them?

Hawaii's 2027 Medicare Advantage Landscape lists 3 C-SNPs statewide, out of 46 Medicare Advantage plans overall. All 3 are offered by Devoted Health.

The three plans named in the CMS file are DEVOTED C-SNP GIVEBACK EXTRAS 006 HI (HMO C-SNP), DEVOTED C-SNP GIVEBACK EXTRAS 007 HI (HMO C-SNP), and DEVOTED C-SNP PLUS 003 HI (HMO C-SNP). Two of the three are new for 2027. Each is an HMO C-SNP that includes drug coverage. County reach varies: one is offered in 1 county, one in 3 counties, and one in 4 counties. The per-plan county counts and the full names appear in the table on this page.

Which chronic conditions do the Hawaii C-SNP plan names identify for 2027?

None of the three Hawaii C-SNP names for 2027 state a specific chronic condition. The plan names use labels such as "GIVEBACK EXTRAS" and "PLUS" rather than naming a condition like diabetes or heart failure.

Because the condition is not stated in the name, the only reliable way to learn which qualifying condition each plan serves — and whether your diagnosis fits — is to look up the plan on Medicare.gov, call 1-800-MEDICARE, or read the plan's own Evidence of Coverage and enrollment materials. A provider will also need to verify the qualifying condition before enrollment can be completed.

Is there a Special Enrollment Period in Hawaii for people with a qualifying chronic condition in 2027?

Yes. People who have a qualifying chronic condition generally have a Special Enrollment Period that lets them join a C-SNP outside the usual Annual Enrollment window, once the diagnosis is verified by a provider. That SEP opportunity typically ends once you are enrolled in a C-SNP that fits your condition.

For everyone else, the standard calendar still applies. Annual Enrollment 2027 runs October 15 – December 7, 2026, and choices made during that window take effect January 1, 2027. The Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period for 2027 then runs January 1 – March 31, 2027, and allows one change for people already in a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare.gov and 1-800-MEDICARE can confirm which enrollment period applies to your situation.

How do I check whether a Hawaii C-SNP is offered in my county for 2027?

Use the Medicare Plan Finder at Medicare.gov, or call 1-800-MEDICARE, and enter your ZIP code to see the Medicare Advantage and C-SNP plans available in your Hawaii county for 2027. The statewide count of 3 C-SNPs reflects every C-SNP listed somewhere in Hawaii; it does not mean all 3 are offered in every county.

Hawaii's C-SNP footprint for 2027 is uneven by design: among the three Devoted Health C-SNPs, county availability ranges from a single county up to four counties. The tables on this page show which plan is listed in how many counties, and the Plan Finder shows which specific counties each plan serves.

Where can Hawaii residents get free help comparing Medicare plans for 2027?

Free, non-sales help with Medicare questions is available from Medicare itself. You can go to Medicare.gov to use the Plan Finder and read plan materials, or call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

For questions about Part A and Part B eligibility, enrollment, or premiums, the Social Security Administration can help at ssa.gov or 1-800-772-1213. If you are weighing a C-SNP, having your diagnosis and current medication list handy will make the conversation faster, since a provider's verification of the qualifying condition is part of C-SNP enrollment.
