BCBSSC commands upwards of 70% to 75% of private commercial claims across South Carolina. Practices must manage BCBSSC Preferred Blue fee schedules, state employee health plan guidelines, and strict pre-service certification. Credentialing lapses with BCBSSC immediately halt practice cash flow.
Headquartered in Columbia, Palmetto GBA oversees Medicare Jurisdiction M (South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia). Palmetto GBA vigorously audits evaluation and management documentation, outpatient physical therapy thresholds, and interventional spine procedures under Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs).
South Carolina did not expand Medicaid under the ACA. Healthy Connections delivers care through four contracted health plans: Absolute Total Care, First Choice by Select Health, Molina Healthcare, and Healthy Blue. Tracking eligibility changes and managing EPSDT preventive screening codes are vital.
Under South Carolina law, health insurers must pay clean electronic claims within 40 days. Claims unpaid within this statutory window accrue interest penalties payable directly to the healthcare provider. We track clearinghouse timestamps to enforce statutory payment compliance.
