A $0 plan premium is not a free plan. You still pay your Part B premium to Medicare, plus copays and coinsurance as you use care. CMS publishes star ratings per contract, so plans a carrier files under one contract all share a rating.

Every HMO plan in Kansas with a published premium costs $0 a month.

A $0 premium is normal for Medicare Advantage and does not mean the plan is free — you still pay the Part B premium to Medicare, plus copays and coinsurance as you use care. The out-of-pocket maximum, which averages $6,165 here, is the number that caps a bad year.

Other Medicare coverage

Every figure on this page covers HMO and PPO plans. A small number of PFFS and Cost plans are sold in some states and are not included above — there are too few nationally (71 across 17 states) to compare meaningfully. Standalone Part D drug plans and PACE programmes are different products entirely and are not Medicare Advantage; you can find any available on the full Kansas plan list.
