Hawaii Rx Plus The Department of Human Services will discontinue the Hawai’i Rx Plus discount card program for prescription medications effective August 1, 2010. Initiated in July 2004, the program enabled the State to make prescription drugs more affordable for qualified lower-income Hawai’i residents. Since then, the Medicare Part D federal program and the availability of many free or more generous prescription discount programs to all residents of Hawaii, without eligibility restrictions, render the program obsolete. The Department encourages all residents, including those enrolled and using Hawaii Rx Plus to call or download free discount cards from other prescription discount program, including:         AlohaMeds, 1-888-477-2669, www.alohameds.org         CVS Caremark/National Association of Counties, 1-877-321-2652.         www.caremark.com/naco         Hawaii Rx Card, www.hawaiirxcard.com (not affiliated with Hawai’i Rx Plus) Questions may be directed to the Department of Human Services, Med-QUEST Division, Customer Service Branch on Oahu by calling 524-3370 or toll free from the Neighbor Islands at 1-800-316-8005.
