Medicare and senior insurance help in Kansas

Kansas Medicare markets look very different from city to city. Johnson County sits inside the Kansas City metro with plans that reach into Missouri, while Wichita, Topeka and Lawrence each lean on one or two main hospital systems.

Our Kansas sites cover those differences for each city. Start here to find yours.

Cities

Our Kansas locations

  • Overland Park, KS

    Overland Park sits in Johnson County, the most populous county in Kansas and part of the Kansas City metro. That means a lot of seniors here live in Kansas but see doctors in Missouri, at Saint Luke's, University Health or KU Medical Center across the line.

    Counties: Johnson County

  • Wichita, KS

    Wichita's hospital picture centers on two names: Wesley and Ascension Via Christi. Most Advantage plans in Sedgwick County cover one or both, but it pays to check, since switching hospital systems mid-treatment is no fun.

    Counties: Sedgwick County, Butler County

  • Topeka, KS

    As the state capital, Topeka has a large share of retired state employees. Many of them carry state retiree health coverage that works with Medicare, so the first step is often comparing that group option with individual plans.

    Counties: Shawnee County, Jefferson County, Jackson County

  • Lawrence, KS

    Lawrence sits between Kansas City and Topeka, and plenty of seniors here use doctors in all three places. LMH Health covers most local care, but specialists at the University of Kansas Health System or Stormont Vail are a short trip away.
