South Carolina has not expanded Medicaid, leaving a significant coverage gap for working adults between 18-64. The ACA marketplace covers 350,000+ South Carolinians with an average net premium of $72/month after subsidies. Medicare covers 1.1 million residents, with growing Medicare Advantage adoption along the coastal retirement corridor.
South Carolina residents turning 65 have two main Medicare paths: Original Medicare (Parts A + B) with an optional Supplement plan, or Medicare Advantage (Part C) from a private carrier. Each path has different costs, network rules, and out-of-pocket limits. The right choice depends on your health needs, preferred doctors, and financial situation.
Missing your Initial Enrollment Period can result in a permanent Part B late enrollment penalty of 10% for every 12 months you delayed. Getting guidance before your 65th birthday — ideally 3 months before — is essential.
