Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC), is entering the Medicare Advantage market in 2015 with Blue Medicare Advantage plans available in nine counties in Kansas and Missouri (Cass, Clay, Clinton, Jackson, Lafayette, Platte, and Ray in Missouri; Johnson and Wyandotte in Kansas). Blue KC will offer two Medicare Advantage HMO plan options based on financial preferences and healthcare needs.
“At Blue KC, we’ve been a part of the Kansas City community for more than 75 years providing millions of Kansas Citians with health insurance and helping them navigate the changing landscape of health insurance. Blue Medicare Advantage offers people who have trusted us to take care of their health insurance needs for most of their lives the opportunity to continue with Blue KC by choosing from one of our Blue Medicare Advantage products,” said Danette Wilson, president and CEO of Blue KC.
In addition, Blue Medicare Advantage builds on an innovative coordinated healthcare model that Blue KC pioneered in the Kansas City area in 2009, the Blue KC Medical Home program. With Blue Medicare Advantage, the primary care physician acts as the quarterback for patient care, meeting quality standards that generate better outcomes.
Blue KC invites Medicare eligible beneficiaries that reside in the Blue Medicare Advantage service area to local seminars for a chance to learn more about Blue Medicare Advantage. These seminars are free to attend and provide beneficiaries and caregivers an opportunity to ask questions about their Medicare options.
