The Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA) has announced that they will be raising their medical premiums by just 1.2 percent next year. The increase will effect approximately 78,000 members, but HMSA officials are quick to point out that this is the lowest rake hike in over five years. HMSA spokeswoman Elida Yadal stated, “For several years now we’ve had programs in place aimed at slowing the growth of medical costs. These include our patient centered medical home program and our pay-for-quality programs with doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers. We’re optimistic that these programs are now starting to show results.”
