NOTICE: As of Jan. 1, 2026 , Healthy Connections Prime (Prime), South Carolina's Medicare-Medicaid plan, has ended. Members who were enrolled in Prime are encouraged to switch to a new dual special needs plan (D-SNP). Some members may be automatically moved to a new plan if their current plan offers a D-SNP. Healthy Connections Medicaid works with Medicare to help combine coverage with Medicaid when possible. This is done by partnering with health plans to offer D-SNPs. Healthy Connections Medicaid members with questions about Medicare coverage or enrollment should visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800 Medicare (1-800-633-4227). Members can also visit the SCDHHS website for more information about D-SNPs . The resources below were current as of the end of the Prime program.

The purpose of this section is to share the following types of materials that were developed for CICOs:
