More and more Kansas residents are looking for affordable health insurance as premiums rise and an increasing number of employers drop health insurance from benefits packages.  Discount health insurance policies are readily available for many Kansas residents, you just have to know where to look.

One popular plan is offered through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas called AffordaBlue.  This plan is perfect for Kansas residents looking for affordable preventative hospital and surgical benefits to help cover every day as well as unexpected medical costs.  AffordaBlue is great value and offers competitive benefits such as maternity coverage and newborn benefits.  Options such as these for health insurance coverage, are critical during these tough times as health insurance rates soar and health care reform leaves health insurance more confusing than ever.

A full benefit summary is available on the BCBSKS website but here’s a list of what’s available through this unique program.  Such coverages include office visits, accidental injuries, outpatient lab services, preventative care, outpatient prescription drugs, home health care, maternity services, newborn care, ambulance services, surgery, anesthesia, and mental illness care.  Families can even have their dependents use services up until the age of 26.
