2021 State of Kansas (SOK) Employee Health Plans

The SOK employee group will be renewing their health plans with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas (BCBSKS) for 2021.

Full benefit descriptions, as well as other information for SOK employees are available on the BCBSKS SOK webpage.

There will be no changes to Medicare Plans offered (Plans C, G, N and Select Plans C and G).

For all non-Medicare plans (Plans A, C, J, N and Q) the following changes will occur beginning January 1, 2021:

• All telehealth services provided by non-network providers will be subject to non-network benefits.  These services will no longer deny “non-covered”.
• All network providers billing for telehealth services will be reimbursed at the same level (example- reduced copayment of $10.00 for Plan A members).
• Benefits for telehealth are no longer specific to using Amwell.
• The University of Kansas Health Systems will be added as a preferred lab vendor.
