The Kansas City metro area spans two states, four major counties, and dozens of communities — each with its own Medicare plan marketplace, provider network landscape, and community of seniors navigating coverage decisions. I serve the full KC metro as an independent Medicare advisor, licensed in both Missouri and Kansas, with no carrier affiliation that limits what I can recommend. My office is in Blue Springs, and I meet clients throughout the metro in person, by phone, or by video — always at no cost.
I serve the full Kansas City metro area including:
Missouri side: Kansas City, Blue Springs, Independence, Lee's Summit, Raytown, Grain Valley, Grandview, Liberty, Gladstone, North Kansas City, and surrounding communities throughout Jackson, Clay, and Cass counties.
Kansas side: Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Prairie Village, Leawood, Merriam, and surrounding Johnson County communities.
If you live somewhere in the KC metro not listed here, call — I almost certainly serve your area.
Medicare Parts A and B are federal programs that work identically in both states. However, Medicare Advantage and Medigap plan options depend on your specific state and county of residence — Kansas and Missouri have separate plan marketplaces with different carriers, networks, and premiums.
This matters especially for residents near State Line Road who use providers on both sides of the metro. I verify cross-border network access for every client near the state line and make sure your Medicare Advantage plan — if you choose one — actually covers the providers you use most.
After years of advising clients across the Kansas City metro, the most common and costly mistakes I see are:
1. Assuming COBRA delays Medicare enrollment — it doesn't. COBRA is not creditable coverage for Medicare purposes.
2. Missing the Medigap open enrollment window — the 6-month guaranteed issue period after Part B enrollment is the only time you can get Medigap at standard rates regardless of health history.
3. Choosing a plan based on TV commercials — the $0 premium plan on TV may not cover your doctors or your prescriptions.
4. Not reviewing plans annually — networks and formularies change every year. The best plan in 2025 may not be the best in 2026.
Primary hospitals serving Kansas City Metro: Saint Luke's Health System and Research Medical Center / Centerpoint. When comparing Medicare Advantage plans in Kansas City Metro, I verify that your preferred facilities and physician groups are in-network before making any recommendation.

Plan availability, carrier participation, and premiums vary by ZIP code. The Missouri side (Jackson, Clay, Cass counties) and the Kansas side (Johnson County) are separate Medicare plan marketplaces. I pull the complete plan options for your specific ZIP code — not generic metro-wide data — for every comparison.
Yes. Missouri's CLAIM program (1-800-390-3330) and Kansas's SHICK program (1-800-860-5260) both provide free, unbiased Medicare counseling from trained volunteers. These are excellent resources for independent information. Jon Perkins offers a complementary service — he can actually enroll you in the plans that are the best fit, which CLAIM and SHICK counselors cannot do.
