You deserve the best – Topeka, we are your partner in health.

Updated on 12/24/25

Our members deserve the best and with more than 95% of providers in network, we are committed to being your partner in health. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS) is pleased to announce that the University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Topeka will remain in the Blue Cross network for 2026, ensuring continued access to local care for our members.

BCBSKS serves more than 1 million members – and is committed to ensuring those members have access to affordable, quality health care choices close to home. We’re proud to have the largest network of providers in Kansas. With over 95% of eligible hospitals and providers in our network, our members can choose the provider that best meets their needs.

We are Kansans serving Kansans for more than 80 years – and a partner in health and wellness across the state.

    What does it mean when you say you’re a not-for-profit, member-owned mutual company and how does that benefit me as a member?

    This means we are owned by our members, and we only exist to serve you. We do not have shareholders to pay or stock prices to worry about. That allows us to solely focus on doing what’s right for our members and our communities.

    As a member, you are a co-owner of the company. Every dollar that comes to BCBSKS through premiums is either used to pay member claims, pay taxes, or cover operating expenses. We’re not lining our coffers – any money we have is earmarked to reinvest in the company and the communities we serve.

    We are Kansans serving Kansans. Our members are our neighbors, friends, and colleagues. We care deeply about the health of our community – which is why we are constantly looking for ways to improve affordability and access.

    • Providers have told us that they appreciate that we pay accurately, promptly and offer peace of mind.
    • We are finding innovative ways to bring even more value to our members:
      • Prime Therapeutics: Integrated pharmacy benefits
      • Meds Your Way: Lowest price for prescription drugs
      • We partner with local organizations across the state and provide resources to make lasting changes to improve Kansans’ health.
      • Through our Blue365 program, members have access to weekly deals and discounts related to fitness and healthy eating. It’s easy to sign up for weekly email reminders!
      • With STRIVE, members receive unlimited access to doctor-designed, powerful online tools, including a personalized health risk assessment and more.
      • Our Healthy Options wellness program brings wellness to your worksite and empowers your employees with one-on-one support, coaching and education.
