UnitedHealthcare Community Plan KanCare

This plan offers a range of benefits along with extras that other KanCare plans don't offer. We also offer extra support and care to adults and children who need help with daily activities. You qualify based on income and health needs. 

Dual Special Needs plans

Dual Special Needs plans (also called Dual Health plans or D-SNPs for short) are for people who have both Medicaid and Medicare. Dual plans cover most doctor visits, hospital stays and prescription drugs. They offer many extra benefits beyond those you get with either Original Medicare or Medicaid.

Individual & Family ACA plans

UnitedHealthcare offers Individual & Family ACA plans in Kansas. They’re designed to give you the coverage you need without breaking the bank.

Choose from plans in the Bronze, Silver and Gold metal levels. They each come with a variety of benefits, including reliable support from our customer service experts.
