Medicaid is a government program that gives free or low-cost health coverage to people with limited income, such as some adults, children, pregnant women, seniors and people with disabilities. Each state runs its own Medicaid program and decides who qualifies. We are an independent insurance agency, and we cannot enroll you in Medicaid or check your Medicaid.

Common questions
How is ACA Marketplace coverage administered in Kansas?
Kansas uses HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace) rather than a state-run exchange. Enrollment, plan comparison, and subsidy determinations run through the federal system.
Has Kansas expanded Medicaid under the ACA?
Kansas has not adopted ACA Medicaid expansion. Some adults with income too high for traditional Medicaid but too low to qualify for Marketplace premium tax credits may fall into a coverage gap. A licensed agent can review what applies to a specific household.
Is there a cost to speak with a licensed agent?
No. Reviewing ACA Marketplace options by phone with a licensed agent has no cost. Any plan ultimately selected carries its own separate premium, determined by the plan and carrier, not by GetFastRates.com.
Questions are easier by phone.
