Caregiver Pay Estimator

Some states let a family member get paid through a consumer-directed Medicaid or HCBS program. We have researched official state programs for 25 states. Every figure links to the state's own page. Eligibility is always decided by the state, never by us.

Hawaii

Self-Direct (SD) Services (Med-QUEST HCBS)

The state's official page confirms this program exists. It does not state which family members can be paid, so we do not guess. Call the state program directly to ask.

Also: Consumer direction for personal care/respite care coordinated through a member's Med-QUEST MCO care coordinator

Eligibility, dollar amounts, and application steps are set by the state and can change. Only Hawaii's own program can confirm eligibility. This is not an eligibility determination.

This page's URL now points at Hawaii, so you can copy and share it.
