At Blue KC, we take benefits education seriously. So seriously, in fact, that we’ve designated a team to support you and your employees during the Open Enrollment period and beyond.

The Benefits Education Team is here to make it easier for your employees to understand and use the Blue KC benefits available to them. The more they know, the more we hope they’ll engage with their health tools, services, and programs throughout the year.

Education comes in all forms.

The Benefits Education Team can help you reach your employees in a way that works best for your company – including virtual, live, or hybrid settings.

We can help you with:

• Standard and recorded presentations
• Benefit fairs
• Q & A sessions
• Blue KC branded giveaways
• Video Content. Click here to view a sample that can be customized for your organization.  
• Collateral
• 1:1 employee / member decision support during Open Enrollment^*
