Know Where to Go for Care

Getting the right care at the right place and at the right time isn’t just good for your health; it can save you time and money.

Important Update Regarding Appointments

Now, more than ever, we want you to feel confident about getting the care you need in a safe environment. At Spira Care, we’ve implemented enhanced safety protocols to protect our members and staff. We’re here for your primary and behavioral healthcare needs including preventive, wellness, sick care and follow-up appointments. And our Care Teams have a variety of ways to see members – including in person, by phone or through a video visit. Call 913-29-SPIRA (77472) so we can discuss your care need and what type of appointment will work best. We have temporarily removed the option to schedule appointments using our online patient portal.

COVID-19 Symptoms

If you have a care need related to COVID-19 and/or are experiencing symptoms like fever, cough or nasal congestion, please call 913-29-SPIRA (77472) to speak to our triage nurse. We have a dedicated team to assist members with their COVID-19 care needs and questions. The nurse will talk with you about your symptoms and discuss next steps including a telehealth appointment with a provider and/or testing options.

We know the COVID-19 situation changes rapidly. For the most up-to-date information visit Spira Care or the CDC sites regularly.
