As part of your application, you’ll be asked which health plan or managed care organization (MCO) you’d like to choose. You can choose Aetna Better Health® of Kansas as your health plan before submitting your application.
You’ll still have time to choose a health plan even if you don’t do so during the application process. But after a certain period, if you don’t choose a plan, you will be automatically assigned and enrolled into a MCO.
