South Carolina Insurance Coverage Help
Healthy Connections, South Carolina's Medicaid program, is run by the Department of Health and Human Services, and South Carolina residents use the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace for ACA shopping. GetFastRates.com is free to use for South Carolina callers working through Medicare, ACA, life, or supplemental coverage questions.
Coverage questions in South Carolina.
Medicare, health, life, and supplemental insurance can depend on state, carrier, enrollment timing, household details, and personal needs.
Healthy Connections, administered by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS), has a member contact center at (888) 549-0820 -- that's the right place to start if your South Carolina Medicaid eligibility changed.
South Carolina does not run its own ACA exchange, so South Carolina marketplace shopping and subsidy questions go through the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace.
South Carolina's free Medicare counseling program goes by the name I-CARE (Insurance Counseling Assistance and Referrals for Elders) at 800-868-9095, run through the state's Office on Aging and separate from GetFastRates' own free phone help.

South Carolina's Medicare counseling program uses a distinctive name, I-CARE, rather than a generic SHIP label, and is run through the state's Office on Aging rather than the Department of Insurance -- worth knowing since some other states run this exact function directly out of their insurance regulator instead.
