South Carolinas health insurance companies are United HealthCare, Aetna, Humana and World. All of these companies are constantly competing for your busiiness which drives down the pricing. Individual policies are medically underwritten, so pre-existing medical conditions can sometimes increase the rate. However, in most cases, these conditions will not cause a denial of coverage.

The three types of South Carolina individual health insurance are “comprehensive", “catastrophic”, and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).”

Catastrophic plans generally cover only the major medical expenses, and rates tend to be very low. Sometimes referred to as a "High Deducible Health Plan," out of pocket expenses tend to be higher, with limitations on office visit and prescription coverages. In some cases, prevetative benefits are included.

Comprehensive plans add office visit and prescription coverages, and tend to be the most expensive plans. But raising the deductible on the major medical items can keep the premium quite affordable. Some South Carolina individual health insurance plans will offer a reduced rate, by limiting the number of covered office visits. Another available option to reduce premiums is limiting the type of prescriptions that are covered.

HSAs, a popular South Carolina individual health insurance plan, are most effective when major medical and preventative coverages are a priority. Rates are often fairly low, and additional tax advantages help make the HSA an attractive option to consider. The amount of premium saved by purchasing the lower-premium/higher deductible policy can be deposited into an HSA account, to pay for qualified medical expenses.
