Medicare and senior insurance help in Lawrence

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.

That makes networks the first thing to check. A Douglas County plan that covers LMH Health may treat KU Health System as out of network. Former university and state workers should also compare any retiree coverage before buying a separate plan.

  • Medicare Advantage
  • Medicare Supplement
  • Part D drug plans
  • Final expense insurance
