Medicare billing in South Carolina
South Carolina Part B claims are processed by Palmetto GBA, the Jurisdiction M Medicare Administrative Contractor headquartered right in Columbia, SC. We file to Palmetto daily and code against its local coverage determinations. Coastal retirement growth makes Medicare Advantage a major book, led by Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and BlueCross's own MA products, so MA enrollment is verified at eligibility on every senior visit.
Healthy Connections (SC Medicaid) billing
Healthy Connections enrolls most South Carolina Medicaid members in managed care: Select Health of South Carolina (First Choice), Molina, Humana Healthy Horizons, and Absolute Total Care (Centene). Each MCO keeps its own portal, prior-auth list, and filing window, and provider enrollment runs through the state's SCDHHS systems. We verify the member's MCO before the visit and keep enrollment records current so payment never stalls.
Commercial payers we bill in South Carolina
BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is one of the most dominant Blues in the country in its home state, and its edits and appeal tracks anchor SC billing. Alongside it we bill UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and the marketplace plans (Ambetter, Molina) that carry the coastal service economy's coverage. The BCBS-SC-owned Companion Benefit Alternatives handles behavioral carve-outs we route correctly for mental-health claims.
Specialties we serve across South Carolina
We bill 25+ specialties across South Carolina, including its high-volume fields: family medicine, internal medicine, cardiology, orthopedics (busy in the retiree belt), dermatology, behavioral health, and urgent care (dense along the coast).
Why South Carolina practices choose PRMS
South Carolina's recurring leaks: Healthy Connections claims misrouted among four MCOs, behavioral claims that skip the CBA carve-out lane, and seasonal coastal volume that outruns in-house billers. Our team sorts plan and lane before the visit, scales with your busy season, and reports weekly. Credentialing with SCDHHS, all MCOs, and BCBS of SC is free for billing clients.
