Spira Care members will benefit from the network's lower overall costs and convenient access to local providers across the metro area. Depending on which Spira Care plan you select, all primary care and behavioral health services provided at the Care Centers are covered for either no or low out-of-pocket cost to members. Routine preventative care, x-rays, chronic condition management, lab work, and behavior health sciences are just a few of the services offered at the Spira Care Clinics.  

Spira Care Centers are conveniently located across the Kansas City metro area.  For the location that works best for you, check the available Care Centers on the Spira Care website.

If you need care outside the clinic, you will have access to the Blue Select Plus network of doctors and hospitals within the Kansas City metro area. For additional information on how the plans work, watch the Spira Care video.

The Preferred Care Blue plans are a broader network of doctors and hospitals. The premium costs and out-of-pocket expenses will be slightly higher than a Blue Select Plus plan. However, this plan has a wider range of doctors and hospitals to choose from.
