2. Compare plans: Once you know your eligibility, you can compare the different family insurance plans available in Kansas. You can use the Health Insurance Marketplace website to compare plans or check with insurance providers directly.

3. Enroll in a plan: To enroll in a family insurance plan, you will need to submit an application during the open enrollment period. The open enrollment period is typically in the fall but can vary depending on the plan. You may also be able to enroll outside of the open enrollment period if you have a qualifying life event, such as a change in employment or a new family member.
