South Carolina Medicaid and Spartanburg routing.
Healthy Connections covers ob-gyn billing for eligible South Carolina beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population. The most common South Carolina Medicaid denials seen in Spartanburg are prior authorization missing or expired, plan-of-record mismatch (patient assigned to different MCO), medical necessity documentation insufficient, timely filing exceeded, and managed care vs FFS routing errors. Because each MCO credentials providers separately and enrollment runs 60-120 days from clean application, confirming plan assignment and credentialing status before the first Spartanburg visit is decisive for clean first-pass payment. Across Spartanburg's 27 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
