Mark Sanford
Governor		 Robert M. Kerr
Director

Thank you for visiting the South Carolina Department of Health & Human Services' (DHHS) website. Under the leadership of Governor Mark Sanford, DHHS is responsible for administering the state's Medicaid program.

Medicaid provides basic healthcare coverage for over 850,000 South Carolinians at an annual cost of about $4 billion. The program provides critical care for our youngest and oldest citizens. Medicaid funds approximately half of all births and almost three quarters of all nursing home beds in the state. Though the Department manages the majority of the $4 billion, about $900 million is expended by the various state agencies that provide Medicaid services.

DHHS' more than 1200 employees are grateful for the opportunity to serve the citizens of this state. We are committed to providing them the best possible health care value.

We hope you find this website useful. We are always seeking ways to improve the program, and we welcome your suggestions and feedback. If you should have any suggestions or questions about the Medicaid program, feel free to call us at (803) 898-2865, or toll free at 1-888-549-0820.

 

Sincerely,



Robert M. Kerr
Director
