Medicaid recipients who reside in Richland, Fairfield, Orangeburg and Calhoun counties may immediately begin choosing CHCcares of South Carolina. Additional counties are expected to be added into CHCcares of South Carolina's coverage area throughout 2008.
"We are very excited to provide Medicaid recipients with a new alternative in the Healthy Connections Choices program," said Jan Hodges, senior vice president of parent company Coventry Health Care, Inc.'s State Government Programs. "We are offering recipients a great health plan that includes no restrictions on the number of adult doctor office visits, no restrictions on the number of prescriptions filled, and no co-pays for prescription services, office visits, or hospital stays."
WellPath of South Carolina, Inc. is a managed care company based in Columbia, S.C., and a subsidiary of Coventry Health Care, Inc.
