Plan Navigator is a useful Open Enrollment tool for currently enrolled employees

As your employees begin making 2027 health insurance decisions, one resource that has proven invaluable for Blue KC members year after year is their member account at MyBlueKC.com, which now features Plan Navigator.

Please encourage employees to take full advantage of Plan Navigator’s personalized information as they research and choose their 2027 Blue KC health plan.

Plan Navigator

Found on the MyBlueKC.com homepage under My Plan, Plan Navigator:

  • Provides quick answers about whether a service is covered
    Members see how their current plan covers services such as doctor visits, surgery, lab work, pregnancy care, and behavioral health.
  • Personalizes benefit information based on a member’s current situation
    Messaging changes based on whether a member has met deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, making the information relevant and actionable. 
  • Sets realistic expectations about healthcare costs
    Members can see what portion of a service their plan will pay and what their financial responsibility may be before receiving care. 
  • Shows real-time deductible and out-of-pocket progress
    The Spending Tracker shows members where they stand financially within their plan year. 
  • Connects members directly to finding care
    Members can move from learning about a service to finding an appropriate in-network provider without starting over somewhere else. 
  • Highlights important requirements before care is received
    Clearly indicates when prior authorization is required, helping members avoid surprises and delays.
  • Provides relevant educational content and resources related to the care being considered
    Includes pregnancy resources like breast pump information, our new Surgery Success Guide for prep and recovery, cancer screening guidelines, and tools that direct members toward cost-effective and symptom-appropriate care settings.
