What is Anthem offering across Kansas for 2027?
Anthem (grouped by CMS under Elevance Health) is offering 2 Medicare Advantage plans in Kansas for the 2027 plan year. Both are HMOs, both are Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs), and both include Part D prescription drug coverage. Anthem is not offering any Chronic Condition SNPs (C-SNPs) or Institutional SNPs (I-SNPs) in Kansas for 2027.
For context, 8 carriers in total are offering Medicare Advantage plans in Kansas for 2027, with 80 plans statewide across all carriers. The plan table on this page lists Anthem's plans alongside the full carrier roster so Kansans can see what is available in their part of the state.
Which Anthem plans have the widest county reach in Kansas for 2027?
Both of Anthem's 2027 Kansas plans carry the same marketing name — Healthy Blue Full Dual Advantage (HMO D-SNP) — but they are filed as separate plans with different county footprints. According to the CMS Landscape file, the broader footprint reaches 84 Kansas counties and the second reaches 20 counties.
Because Medicare Advantage plans are offered county by county, a plan listed statewide may not be offered in your specific county. The only way to confirm availability where you live is to check your ZIP code and county on the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov or by calling 1-800-MEDICARE.
What is new or not returning from Anthem in Kansas for 2027?
Both Anthem plans listed for Kansas in 2027 are new for next year, and 1 Anthem plan that was offered in 2026 is not returning for 2027. This is a notable year of turnover for the carrier's Kansas lineup.
If you are currently enrolled in an Anthem plan that will not be offered in 2027, you should receive an Annual Notice of Change or a non-renewal notice from the plan. That letter explains your options and the deadlines that apply to you. Keep it with your Medicare paperwork, because it is the document that confirms what is happening to your current coverage.
How do I check whether an Anthem plan is offered in my Kansas county and covers my doctors and prescriptions?
To check whether a specific Anthem plan is offered in your Kansas county for 2027, use the Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Plan Finder lets you enter your ZIP code, see every plan available where you live, and compare them side by side.
Three things worth confirming before you enroll in any plan:
1. County availability. A plan listed statewide — including either of the Healthy Blue Full Dual Advantage D-SNPs — may not be offered in your county. 2. Doctors and hospitals. Check the plan's provider directory, or call your doctor's office and ask whether they are contracted with that specific plan for 2027. 3. Prescriptions. Review the plan's formulary (drug list) for each medication you take, including the tier and any coverage rules.
Because the D-SNPs on Anthem's 2027 Kansas list are designed for people with both Medicare and Medicaid, eligibility also depends on your Medicaid status. Confirm your category with the Kansas Medicaid program before enrolling.
What should Kansans do before December 7, 2026?
Before December 7, 2026, review your current coverage against what will be available in 2027 and make any change you want to take effect on January 1, 2027. The Annual Enrollment Period for Medicare Advantage and Part D runs from October 15 through December 7, 2026.
A simple checklist:
- Read the Annual Notice of Change from your current plan when it arrives in the fall of 2026.
- Make a short list of your doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and prescriptions.
- Compare plans on medicare.gov using your ZIP code.
- If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, note which D-SNPs are available in your county.
- Enroll by December 7, 2026 for January 1, 2027 coverage.
There is no reason to rush past your own questions. The date is fixed, and free help is available.

Free, unbiased help is available directly from Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and online at medicare.gov. The Medicare Plan Finder lets you enter your ZIP code and see every Medicare Advantage and Part D plan available in your county for 2027, including the Anthem plans listed on this page.
