Plan Overview

With this PPO product, you get hospital, medical and prescription drug coverage, plus extra benefits, all in one plan. Blue Medicare Advantage Access has a monthly premium of $49 and an in-network Maximum Out-of-Pocket limit of $5,500. This means that if you get sick or need a high cost procedure, your copays are capped once you pay the $5,500. This plan offers great flexibility and freedom.

You won't need to choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) or get a referral to see a specialist. By seeing preferred providers, you'll make the most of your benefits, but you also have the freedom to go out-of-network for care at a higher rate.

To join, you must be entitled to Medicare Part A, be enrolled in Medicare Part B, and live in our service area. The Blue KC service area includes these counties in Kansas: Johnson and Wyandotte. And these counties in Missouri: Cass, Clay, Clinton, Jackson, Lafayette, Platte and Ray.


Advantages Include

  • $49 monthly premium
  • Access to a nationwide network of doctors and hospitals
  • Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage
  • Large network of doctors and hospitals in Kansas City’s nine-county service area
  • Routine hearing exams and hearing aid coverage
  • SilverSneakers® fitness membership at no additional cost
  • 24-hour Nurseline
  • Member Rewards program
  • Preventive dental visits
  • Worldwide emergency room and urgent care coverage
  • $0 deductibles for Medicare Part A and Part B
