Who sells marketplace plans in Sedgwick County

Sedgwick County has fewer carriers than Johnson County, the other Kansas county I track, two against five. Across all 79 counties and parishes I track in 24 states, 73 have more carriers than Sedgwick. Ambetter from Sunflower Health Plan alone accounts for 16 of the 25 plans in Sedgwick, 64 percent of the shelf, so a lot of what you see when you shop is one company's lineup in different metal levels.

Sedgwick plan counts from the CMS 2026 landscape file (county FIPS 20173, Rating Area 6). Bronze includes expanded bronze, and companies CMS lists under more than one legal issuer are grouped with the legal names underneath.

What it costs in Sedgwick County before any subsidy

These are the full monthly prices, before any premium tax credit, for the cheapest Sedgwick plan at each metal level. I show the sticker price because it is what your subsidy is subtracted from, and most people who enroll in Sedgwick pay less, often a lot less.

Benchmark silver is the second lowest of the 7 silver premiums listed for Sedgwick. The last column is two adults aged 40 plus two children.

What these numbers mean if you live in Sedgwick County

Sedgwick County is one of 32 of the 79 counties and parishes on my list where the metal levels are priced in the order you would expect. The cheapest gold at 40 is $733, which is $30 above the benchmark silver and $36 above the cheapest silver. In Sedgwick the extra gold premium pays for a lower deductible rather than coming free.

In Sedgwick County the benchmark is $145 above the cheapest bronze at age 40, and 18 of the other 78 counties and parishes I track have a narrower one. That gap decides whether bronze can be free, because your subsidy is the $703 benchmark minus what the government expects you to pay from your income. A 40 year old in Sedgwick whose expected share is $145 a month or less would pay nothing for the cheapest bronze. At 60 the Sedgwick gap grows to $307 and at 21 it shrinks to $113, which is why older enrollees are the ones most likely to find a $0 plan.

Johnson County, around Overland Park, is the other Kansas county I track. Compared with Johnson County, the Sedgwick benchmark is $124 higher at 40 and the cheapest bronze is $116 higher. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas sells in Sedgwick and not in Johnson County. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City, Medica, Oscar and UnitedHealthcare sell in Johnson County and not in Sedgwick.

Sedgwick plans by metal level, network and deductible

There is not a single PPO on the 2026 marketplace in Sedgwick County. All 25 plans are EPO plans. Outside emergencies, the 25 EPO plans in Sedgwick generally pay nothing out of network, so the network list matters more than the premium. 4 plans in Sedgwick have a $0 medical deductible (2 expanded bronze and 2 gold). The 2 bronze ones among them still have out of pocket maximums of $10,500, so a $0 deductible does not mean a small bill.
