Medica today announced it has added Children’s Mercy to its network for the Select by MedicaSM plan. Select by Medica is available to Kansas residents who live in Johnson or Wyandotte counties. Enrollment in the plan is available on the Kansas Health Insurance Marketplace (HealthCare.gov) for coverage on or after January 1, 2018.
Children’s Mercy features a staff of more than 750 pediatric specialists in 40 pediatric specialties. It was the first hospital in Kansas or Missouri to receive Magnet designation in 2003 from the American Nurses Credentialing Center for superior nursing quality. Only 7 percent of U.S. hospitals receive the designation. It is affiliated with the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine and is the principal teaching hospital for the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Medica will add Children’s Mercy to its online directory of in-network providers in the next few weeks.
“We are delighted to add Children’s Mercy to our Select by Medica network,” said Geoff Bartsh, Medica vice president for individual and family business. “Children's Mercy, which consistently is ranked among the leading children's hospitals in the nation, represents the quality innovative care our members expect and deserve.”
In addition to Children’s Mercy, members with Select by Medica coverage can receive care from providers in the Saint Luke’s Health System.
Select by Medica is just one of two product options available to individuals and families in Kansas from Medica in 2018. Medica Connect is offered in the other 103 counties in Kansas.
