Medicaid members are invited to attend a town meeting in the Pee Dee region during June to learn more about health plan choices. These meetings will be at various times, in several locations, in the region to allow Medicaid members to meet health plan representatives, ask questions and enroll in the health plan of their choice. Medicaid beneficiaries in South Carolina have the option to choose their own health plans sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services’ Healthy Connections Choices program. Since its launch in 2007, thousands of Medicaid recipients have extra health care benefits by signing up to a healthcare plan.

Meetings will be from 10-11:30 a.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. on:

Wednesday, June 18, Department of Social Services Commons Service Room, 201 North Page St., Chesterfield;

Thursday, June 19, Harts-ville Memorial Library, 147 West College St., Hartsville;

Healthy Connections Choices is part of the state’s overall Medicaid reform plan and is designed to get a better return on South Carolina’s heathcare investment. Through partnerships with managed care entities, medical home networks and special enrollment counselors, S.C.’s Department of Health and Human Services seeks to increase care coordination and disease prevention.
