Medical Associates Health Plan in the Kansas small group market
Medical Associates Health Plan is the newest name in the Kansas small group market. Every one of its 16 plans in the 2026 filing is marked new, all under the Central Plains Physicians Health Plan product name, so it had no Kansas small group members at filing time.
The filing carries geographic factors for rating areas 5 and 6 only: southwest Kansas, and south central Kansas, which includes Wichita and Sedgwick County. Its lineup is mostly HMO, with two POS plans and HDHP options. Employers in those areas now have a fourth carrier to compare.

Where Medical Associates Health Plan prices its Kansas plans
Each carrier files a factor for every Kansas rating area it serves. Below 1.000 means that area prices under the carrier's own statewide base; above 1.000 means over it. The factor compares areas within this carrier only, not one carrier against another.
| Rating area | Region | Factor | Our city pages |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Southwest Kansas (21 counties) | 1.000 | |
| 6 | South central Kansas (17 counties) | 1.000 | Wichita, Hutchinson |
County lists for each area are on the Kansas rating areas page. These factors say where a carrier prices, not which doctors are in its network; we check networks against your team separately.
