- The State Employee Health Plan continues to make updates to our website. It is designed so you'll find it easier to navigate.
-
2024 Enrollment Resources are available for you and your employees on the website. Resources include vendor videos to help explain benefits.
- The 2024 Non State Employer Rates can be found here. Remember, employer rates do not change until July 1, 2024.
Annual 1095s are available now in MAP!
1095s for Non State members are available now in the MAP portal.
As a reminder, the SEHP provides the necessary information for each Non State Employer Group to file their forms with the IRS, but does not file the forms on your behalf.
Members that opted in to electronic communications can access their 1095-c through MAP.
Should you have any questions, please contact SEHPMembership@ks.gov.
-
Coverage Election Period: Each person shall have 31 days from their date of hire to elect or waive SEHP coverage in MAP. If an employee misses their deadline, the next opportunity to elect coverage will be during the annual Open Enrollment period or with a Qualifying Event.
-
The MAP User Guide and the Administration Manual can help with most questions related to the MAP system and/or membership issues.
-
It is important to ensure you are adding all benefits eligible employees within the MAP portal. A minimum of 70% of all benefits eligible employees must be enrolled in the SEHP.
-
While your employee is waiting for insurance cards but needs to see a medical provider, typically all the employee needs to do is inform the provider when their SEHP coverage began. The provider will file the claim after the employee received their ID card. You may provide your employee this attachment to use while they wait for the cards to arrive.

If you are enrolled in any SEHP medical plan and you use a Network Provider with either Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas or Aetna, your first eye visit, regardless of reason or diagnosis each year, is covered at 100%.
The SEHP medical plans allow one eye visit per calendar year which means you do not have to wait 365 days between eye visits.
