If you run a small business in Hawaii, offering employee health insurance isn’t optional — it’s required by law. But beyond compliance, there’s a smarter way to boost retention, reduce absenteeism, and improve productivity through Kaiser Permanente health plans for Hawaii businesses.
Skyline Benefit is a trusted group health insurance broker helping Hawaii-based companies access the most competitive Kaiser Permanente plans while staying ACA-compliant and budget-conscious. In this blog, we’ll explore why more Hawaii-based employers are choosing Kaiser for group coverage and what makes these plans a smart investment.
What Makes Kaiser Permanente Plans Ideal for Hawaii Employers?
Comprehensive Coverage for Employees and Families
Kaiser’s Hawaii plans include full medical coverage with $0 deductibles, low copays, and family-friendly benefits like:
- $0 copays for routine maternity care
- Free primary care visits for children (up to age 17)
- Multiple platinum-tier plans tailored to different business needs
3 Key Plans to Choose From:
- KP HI Platinum 0/20 Rx Ded (Low) – Lower premium, Rx deductible included
- KP HI Platinum 0/20 (Medium) – Balanced cost-sharing, no Rx deductible
- KP HI Platinum 0/15 (High) – Higher copays for more comprehensive coverage
Employee Wellness Incentives
Kaiser’s Fit Rewards program (2025 update) offers up to $200 annually to employees who stay active at partner gyms under the new One Pass Select fitness network.
How Do Kaiser Hawaii Health Plans Help Businesses Save?
1. Meet State Mandates Without Overpaying
Hawaii law requires small businesses to provide health insurance to employees working 20+ hours a week. Kaiser’s affordable group options make compliance simple.
2. Lower Turnover with Better Benefits
Plans like KP HI Platinum boost employee satisfaction, lowering turnover and hiring costs — especially in Hawaii’s competitive job market.
3. Offer Tax-Advantaged Benefits
Premium contributions are typically pre-tax, reducing your business’s payroll tax liability. Kaiser plans also qualify under Section 125 Cafeteria Plans.
What Optional Benefits Can You Add to Kaiser Group Plans?
Enhance your benefits package with Kaiser’s optional riders for:
- Dental coverage through Hawaii Dental Service (HDS)
- Vision benefits with yearly allowances for glasses or contacts
- Chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, and naturopathy services in one bundle
- Orthodontia for children under 18
These extras increase your plan’s value without drastically raising costs.
