UnitedHealthcare, HCA South Carolina reach agreement; ensures continued access to Colleton Medical Center, Grand Strand Health and Trident Health System

UnitedHealthcare and HCA have reached a multi-year contract that ensures continued, uninterrupted network access to their providers throughout South Carolina for people enrolled in employer-sponsored commercial plans, including UMR, as well as our Medicare Advantage plans, including Group Retiree. The agreement ensures network access to the following HCA-owned health systems in South Carolina:

• Colleton Medical Center
• Grand Strand Health
• Trident Health System

We also extended network access to all of these providers for people enrolled in our Individual Family Plan (IFP) through Dec. 31, 2024. Colleton Medical Center, Grand Strand Health and Trident Health System will no longer participate in our IFP network, effective Jan. 1, 2025.

We thank our members and customers for their support and patience throughout this process. We are honored to continue supporting all of the people throughout South Carolina who depend on us for access to quality and affordable health care.

Please do not hesitate to contact your UnitedHealthcare representative if you have any questions.
