The Gap Nobody Talks About
There are thousands of hardworking individuals and families in Kansas City who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid — but not enough to actually afford healthcare. They skip dental visits. They ration prescriptions. They put off eye exams. Not because they don't value their health, but because the math simply doesn't work.
ThriveKC — an initiative of AccessKC — was built for exactly our hardworking individual and their families.
For working individuals and families earning between 200–300% of the Federal Poverty Level, ThriveKC covers 100% of the cost on a full range of essential healthcare services:
🦷 FREE dental care + 2 preventive cleanings*
💊 Prescriptions
👓 Eye exams & glasses
👂 Hearing aids
🦽 Durable medical equipment
✅ We cover 100% of the cost.
