Bill > H3573

This bill, the "South Carolina Medicaid Buy-In Act," proposes to establish a Medicaid buy-in program in the state. The program would allow certain residents who are ineligible for Medicaid, Medicare, and Affordable Care Act subsidies to purchase Medicaid coverage. The benefits of the buy-in plan would include essential health services such as ambulatory care, emergency services, hospitalization, and prescription drugs. The state's Department of Health and Human Services would be responsible for implementing the program, including coordinating enrollment and eligibility to ensure continuity of coverage. The bill also directs the department to pursue available federal funding and coordinate with other agencies to raise awareness and assist residents in enrolling in the buy-in plan or other health coverage options.
