Hi. I'm trying to find out what patients with medical insurance with Kaiser in Hilo, HI think about them; vs: what patients with medical insurance with HMSA in Hilo think; what each feels about their coverage and medical services compared to the other option. I searched Yelp.com and found nothing, so I'm starting this "looking for a Review", in hopes other members can contribute their experiences for HMSA vs: Kaiser.
This is what Tracy E in Honolulu, Hawaii said in a message just now:
Hi Steve,
I would reccomend going with HMSA rather than Kaiser. I have HMSA and my boyfriend has Kaiser, and we have found that there are many more doctors to choose from with HMSA. In addition, there is usually a long wait to see a doctor with Kaiser. However, we are on Oahu. Things may be different on the Big Isle.
Good Luck,
Tracy
To which I reply here now:
Hi Tracy,
Thanks very much. Yes, Oahu is VERY different. Hilo is smaller than a small town, with nothing to do, nothing really here other than a WalMart :) There are so few doctors here that even 2 years ago, NO doctors were accepting new patients!! Kaiser may be a good choice for this fact only.
Thanks,
