Between 36 Medicare Advantage plans in Jackson County, 12 Medigap options, and 10 stand-alone Part D plans in Missouri, the choices stack up fast. As a local Medicare broker in Kansas City, MO, Senior Benefits Plus cuts through the noise so you can pick a plan with confidence and keep the same person on speed dial next year.
We are not a national call center. Our office sits at 7506 N Oak Trafficway, and our Medicare advisors know the hospital systems, doctor networks, and pharmacies across the KC metro. That matters because the right Medicare plan in Kansas City often comes down to whether your provider is with Saint Luke’s, the University of Kansas Health System, Research Medical Center, North Kansas City Hospital, or somewhere else.
When you sit down with a local Medicare insurance agent, you get someone who already knows the names on your referral list.
A Medicare insurance broker represents multiple carriers, not one. That means we compare every plan we can offer in your zip code instead of pushing the single product a captive agent gets paid to sell.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
You pay nothing extra for any of it. Brokers are paid by the carriers, and your premium stays exactly the same whether you enroll through us or directly.
Bundles Part A, Part B, and usually Part D into one plan from a private carrier. Many include dental, vision, hearing, transportation, and OTC allowances. In Jackson County, the average premium is around $12.84 per month, and 21 plans carry a $0 premium
Stand-alone prescription drug coverage for people sticking with Original Medicare or a Medigap policy. You have 10 stand-alone Part D plans to compare in Missouri, with the lowest premium starting at $9.60 per month.
Not sure which path fits? That is exactly the conversation we want to have. One 30-minute call usually gives us enough to put real numbers in front of you.
Kansas City’s Medicare math is not just about premiums; it is about which hospital system your plan actually reaches. Network agreements shift every plan year, so the safest move is to confirm before you enroll.
| Hospital System | Main Locations | What to Watch For |
|---|---|---|
| Saint Luke’s Health System | Plaza flagship, Saint Luke’s North, Saint Luke’s East (Lee’s Summit), Saint Luke’s South (Overland Park) | Most major MA carriers include Saint Luke’s, but specific specialists and clinics drop in and out of networks year to year. |
| The University of Kansas Health System | Main campus in KCK, Liberty Hospital (recent affiliation) | The regional academic referral center. Network inclusion varies more than people expect, so check both the main campus and any KU specialists your PCP refers to. |
| HCA Midwest Health | Research Medical Center, Menorah, Centerpoint, Belton Regional, Lee’s Summit Medical Center, Overland Park Regional | Broad MA presence overall, but surgical groups and specialty practices inside HCA facilities sometimes bill separately. |
| North Kansas City Hospital and Meritas Health | NKC main campus, Meritas primary care clinics across the Northland | Important to confirm if you live in NKC, Gladstone, or Pleasant Valley and want to stay local for both primary and hospital care. |
| AdventHealth Shawnee Mission | Main campus in Merriam, clinics in Overland Park and Lenexa | Relevant for clients on the Kansas side. MA network agreements here are usually carrier-specific. |
We are a Medicare agency built around long-term relationships, not one-and-done sales.

Call 816-793-3880 or email info@senbenplus.com. We will walk you through your options, line up plans against your doctors and medications, and let you decide what fits.
Medicare is what we are known for, but our Kansas City clients also lean on us for health insurance, life insurance, and retirement planning and annuities. One trusted team, every season of life.
