Medical - Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas

About Your Benefits

The State Employee Health Plan (SEHP) offers four medical plans (Plans A, C, J, and N) for Active State Employees, Non State Employer Group, and NON-MEDICARE Eligible Retiree/Direct Bill Members.

The Deductible, Coinsurance, and Out-of-Pocket (OOP) maximums differ among the plans and your medical benefits have no lifetime maximum. 

Your medical and pharmacy Out-of-Pocket maximums are combined.  Prescription benefits for all four plans are provided by CVS Caremark. 

All Plans include 100% coverage for preventive services when using a Network provider, including services like annual preventive exams, age-appropriate immunizations, mammograms, colonoscopies, etc.  

For more information about your specific plan enrollment, visit your Member Administration Portal or email . 


Network vs. Non Network Providers

Network Providers accept the plan allowance as payment in full and save you money.  Non Network Providers have not agreed to accept the plan allowance.  This means that in addition to your required Out-of-Pocket cost, any amount above the plan allowance will be your responsibility. Out-of-Pocket maximums which include deductibles, coinsurance, and copays accumulate separately for Network and Non Network providers.

Preventive Care

Why is regular preventive care so important? It focuses on maintaining your overall health – and can help you avoid serious health problems down the road. This vital type of healthcare includes immunizations, vaccines, physical evaluations, lab work, x-rays and health screenings. And yes, even flu shots.

For most Blue KC policies, when your doctor is in-network, your preventive services will be covered at 100%.
