South Carolina's only in-state health insurance carrier, providing health insurance, managed care, Medicaid administration, behavioural health and technology services for over 75 years.
BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is the only South Carolina-owned and -operated health insurance carrier, and one of the state's largest employers. It has provided health insurance and related benefits to Palmetto State citizens for more than 75 years. Its work spans health insurance, managed care, Medicaid administration, behavioral health, life insurance, federal government contract administration, data processing and technology services.
The company's businesses extend well beyond its core insurance operations. BlueChoice HealthPlan of South Carolina is its managed care subsidiary, and Healthy Blue is the Medicaid health plan within it. Affiliated companies offer life insurance, behavioral health benefits, technology services and federal government contract administration, operating in South Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas.
On the technical side, the organisation runs one of the most sophisticated data processing centres in the Southeast. It reports an AM Best financial strength rating of A+ (Superior), reaffirmed for 24 consecutive years; it is the only health insurance company in South Carolina to hold that rating for that period.
The BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation supports healthcare-related research, education and service across the state, alongside wider community and charitable causes.
