Medicaid

The Medicaid  program pays for medical assistance for certain individuals and families with low incomes and resources who meet certain eligibility criteria. Medicaid is jointly funded by the federal and state governments, but is administered by the state governments.

Each state sets its own guidelines regarding who is eligible and is covered under Medicaid. Certain services must be covered by the states in order to receive federal funds; other services are optional and are elected by states. Medicaid in South Carolina is administered by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services .

If you are experiencing any problems with Medicaid, you may wish to contact your state legislator for assistance as the state is the governing authority for the Medicaid program.

I hope the following resources will be helpful to you in your search for information. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact my office.
