HMAA presents Keiki in the Kitchen

HMAA is excited to present Keiki in the Kitchen, part of The Hawaii Food & Wine Festival, on November 6, 2022 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm in the BARN at SALT at Our Kakaako.

Keiki ages 5 and up can join celebrity chef Roy Yamaguchi for a LIVE demonstration and cooking class. Young aspiring chefs will learn how to assemble Chef Roy’s favorite poke nachos, as well as expert tips and tricks for cooking at home. 

Reserve a poke nacho kit for $50; space is limited and online pre-registration is required.

Transparency in Coverage: Machine-Readable File

Transparency in Coverage rules require health plans to disclose, for non-grandfathered plans, in-network provider rates for covered items/services and out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges for covered items/services via machine-readable files (MRFs) on a public website.

HMAA provides MRFs on behalf of our clients in the format required by CMS. HMAA is not responsible for end users’ capabilities to access or open MRFs, including hardware, software, capacity, and network bandwidth. CMS’s intended users of these files include researchers, regulators and application developers.

COVID-19 Vaccine Updates

COVID-19 vaccinations are available to all Hawai‘i residents who are at least 6 months old. If you have questions about the vaccine, please contact your primary care physician. Refer to the Hawai`i State Department of Health (DOH) website for registration information and frequently asked questions.

HMAA will process vaccine claims such that members have a $0 cost-share at both in- and out-of-network providers during the national public health emergency period.
