Rooted in Kansas, Committed to Caring for Our Community

At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS), we’re proud to be the only health plan based right here in Kansas. We live here. We work here. And that local perspective shapes everything we do — from our Kansas-based, award-winning customer support team’s deep understanding of our communities to the ways we actively support our neighbors.

For more than 80 years, we’ve grown alongside the communities we serve, building a health plan that truly understands the needs of Kansas families.

The largest provider network, right here in Kansas

When your family needs care, convenience matters. BCBSKS members get access to the largest network of doctors and hospitals in Kansas. Being Kansas-based means we prioritize care close to home while staying connected nationally, so whether it’s a routine check-up or a more complex treatment, your care is always within reach.

Investing where it matters most

Being based in Kansas isn’t just about our offices, it’s about showing up in every town and neighborhood where our members live. From bike paths and walking trails to community gardens and food pantries, we invest in initiatives that make our communities healthier.

Because we live and work here, we see firsthand what each community truly needs. That local insight guides every investment, from wellness programs to health initiatives that help Kansans thrive. Whether it’s supporting childhood nutrition programs, funding local health screenings or offering resources for seniors, our focus is always on the people of Kansas.

Kansas-based and not for profit

Being local and not for profit go hand in hand. Your premium dollars stay in Kansas and help support programs that improve health care and strengthen communities. We focus on long-term solutions, like affordable coverage, quality care and wellness initiatives that help Kansans stay healthier over time.

Service designed around Kansas families

Being based in Kansas gives us a unique perspective on what our members need — and we put that insight into action every day. At BCBSKS, service isn’t just a department; it’s part of how we connect with the communities we serve.

  • Local expertise, personal support: Our teams live and work in Kansas, so they understand the local health care system and can guide members with practical, relevant information.
  • Tools and resources that help: From preventive care reminders to wellness programs, we offer services that make managing health easier for every stage of life.
  • Coverage that fits your life: Plans are crafted with Kansans in mind, offering flexibility, affordability and support tailored to families, small businesses and individuals.

Our focus on Kansas means that members don’t just get a plan — they get a partner who knows the challenges and opportunities of living right here at home.

Built for Kansas, built for you

Being Kansas-based changes the way we do everything. From the largest provider network to local community investments, from supporting wellness programs to delivering reliable member experiences, we’re here for Kansans, because we are Kansans.

For more than 80 years, we’ve called this state home. And for generations to come, we’ll keep working toward the same goal: a healthier Kansas for everyone.

Every program we launch, every service we provide and every investment we make is guided by the needs of the communities we serve. Being local means being connected — close to our members, close to our neighbors and committed to building a stronger, healthier Kansas.
