The most trusted names in Kansas healthcare

 

Serving Kansas communities with commitment and compassion

 

About Us

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS) and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC), who together have more than 160 years delivering health insurance solutions in Kansas, have partnered with Anthem Partnership Holding Company, LLC (APHC),  which has 30 years of experience serving Medicaid enrollees across the U.S. through its parent and affiliated companies, to create Healthy Blue — a  partnership designed specifically to offer trusted healthcare to more Kansans.

Our Approach

Healthy Blue combines BCBSKS and Blue KC’s deep expertise on local needs, solutions and community support with APHC's best-in-class Medicaid managed care capabilities.  The alliance partners forming Healthy Blue also have a long history of investing in the communities they serve, delivering whole-person health and bringing trusted local solutions in partnership with community-based organizations. Work is already underway to strengthen those capabilities and develop scalable investments in Kansas communities that address social determinants of health.
 

We are combining a local focus with national experience to help Kansans live healthier lives. Through person-centered planning and better coordination of care, Healthy Blue will offer benefits closely tailored to Kansans' healthcare needs, with a focus on improving quality of life. 
 

Healthy Blue will create and deliver solutions that respond to the needs of individuals while removing unnecessary processes, closing gaps in care and making measurable impacts in improving the health of entire communities.

Providers

Through this partnership we bring access to one of the highest rated provider networks in the state. Our networks will include thousands of quality doctors and hospitals to choose from plus extra support from experienced care coordinators who look beyond healthcare and focus on quality of life and independence.

Partners

Collectively, we partner with hundreds of local, community-based and non-profit organizations to build healthy families and neighborhoods, and we’re forging new relationships with Kansas organizations that share our dedication to community wellness and whole-person care.

Relationships

We have long-standing relationships with Kansas providers and hospitals through this partnership, and we understand the support and infrastructure they need to ease Medicaid administrative burdens to help them focus on patients, not paperwork.
