Medicare Resources

We understand how complex and confusing Medicare can be. There are many different types of Medicare insurance options available, including Medicare Advantage, Supplements, and Prescription Drug plans. Dozens of insurance companies offer Medicare coverage options, and furthermore many healthcare providers do not typically accept all Medicare plans.

In partnership with MedicareCompareUSA, The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus is pleased to offer the Medicare Insurance Helpline – a free and unbiased resource for comparing and enrolling in Medicare plans accepted by The University of Kansas Health System St. Francis Campus providers. The Medicare Insurance Helpline can connect you with professional and highly trained agents to help you every step of the way.
