We can help your bottom line. Consider these cost-saving benefits:


Blue KC Exchange – Affordable Health Insurance For Small Businesses
Blue KC Exchange is the only health insurance plan the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce endorses for small businesses. Blue KC Exchange increases choice and affordability in health plans for employers and employees and offers the ease and convenience of an online shopping experience, with the enhanced ability to compare rates of up to 10 different health plans available through the Exchange.

Blue KC Exchange, created by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC), allows an employer to set the amount it is willing to pay for each employee’s health benefits, while still offering greater choice in plans to the employees. Businesses can offer dental insurance and life and disability insurance through Blue KC, as well, providing employees with a package of employee benefits.
