Do current Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City members need to do anything now?
No, Blue KC members don’t need to do anything. Your coverage through your employer or your individual plan is secure with Blue KC. There are some short-term changes in the health care reform legislation that will be implemented over the next several months (see Congress’ clarifications). More significant changes you’ve heard about, such as the requirement that everyone have health insurance, and the requirement that insurers accept anyone who applies, will not be implemented until 2014.
