We\u2019re continually finding ways to transform how healthcare is designed, delivered, and experienced. Spira Care Centers are living proof of this commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spira Care Centers are a revolutionary approach to care, combining advanced primary care and coverage in one place \u2013 simplifying the healthcare experience to make it more personal and affordable. Blue KC members who enroll in a plan with access to Spira Care Centers have exclusive access to eight convenient Care Centers across the Kansas City metro area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spira Care puts members at the center of it all.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Spira Care Centers, every patient is surrounded by a complete Care Team of doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, behavioral health consultants, health coaches, and diabetic educators. Care Guides are part of the Care Team, too, and they help to coordinate care, answer questions, and explain benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Care Team supports patients through every step of their health journey. With physicians leading the way, the Care Team is focused on caring for the whole person and helping members achieve their unique health goals \u2013 whether eating healthier, reducing stress, or self-managing diabetes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bringing more care to healthcare<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced primary care, routine preventive care, chronic medical condition management, and sick care all happen here \u2013 in one convenient place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Spira Care Centers, Care Teams work together to manage patients\u2019 unique health needs. Every patient is seen as an individual, not a set of symptoms. They won\u2019t be rushed through appointments. And, because they have ample time to partner with their physician and Care Team, they can achieve better health outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spira Care model of simple, personal, advanced primary care improves member health and lowers short- and long-term healthcare costs to employers and members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.wp-block-media-text {grid-template-columns: 60px auto !important;}\n.wp-block-media-text .wp-block-media-text__content {\npadding: 24px 20px 0px 24px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {\n.wp-block-media-text__media {\nmargin: 0;\n}\n.wp-block-media-text__media img {\nwidth: 40px;\nheight: auto;\n}\n\n.wp-block-media-text .wp-block-media-text__content {\npadding: 0;\n}\n\n.wp-block-media-text .wp-block-media-text__content p{\npadding: 0;\nmargin: 0;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 599px) {\n\n}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spira Care Fast Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluekc.com\/bluekcblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/iconCopay.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4980 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">No copays, no deductibles, and no additional costs for procedures at Spira Care Centers.<sup>1<\/sup> Routine labs and X-rays<sup>2<\/sup> at Spira Care Centers included.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluekc.com\/bluekcblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/iconPreventive.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4983 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">All preventive services are 100% covered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluekc.com\/bluekcblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/iconTeams.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4982 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Access to Care Teams, including Care Guides, and all Spira Care Centers conveniently located throughout the Kansas City metro area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:15% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluekc.com\/bluekcblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/iconCare.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4981 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">In addition to Spira Care Centers, members have access to the BlueSelect Plus network for services like specialty care and hospitalization.<sup>4&nbsp;<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em><sup>1<\/sup>Members enrolled in a plan with access to Spira Care Centers and who have an HSA have no copays, deductibles or additional costs <strong>after<\/strong> meeting their out-of-pocket maximum.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em><sup>2<\/sup>X-rays are available at select locations only, must be ordered by a Spira Care provider, and are at no additional cost to members.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em><sup>3<\/sup>For Spira Care members, there are no additional costs for any procedure provided at Spira Care Centers, but a select number of generic prescriptions can be filled on site at your copay or deductible level.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em><sup>4<\/sup>Subject to plan cost share.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Share the Spira Care story&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Share with your employees everything Spira Care Centers have to offer, including the difference advanced primary care can make.
