Reminder of SC Medicaid benefit change effective February 1, 2011

 

The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) announced a budget shortfall for the current fiscal year, and as such, has reduced many Medicaid benefits including Chiropractic benefits for both Select Health of South Carolina and Absolute Total Care members.  Effective February 1, 2011, Chiropractic services were reduced from 8 visits to 6 visits per year.  Effective April 1, 2011, Chiropractic co-payments will increase from $1.00 to $1.15 per visit.  Please remember to always call for member eligibility and benefits prior to treatment.
