Health Insurance in Allendale County, SC: 2027 Plans, Prices & Hospitals (Allendale)

If you buy your own health insurance in Allendale County, you have three Marketplace insurance companies to choose from for 2027: Ambetter from Absolute Total Care, BlueCross BlueShield of SC and UnitedHealthcare. Together they offer 48 plans. The silver plan your tax credit is based on costs $670 a month for a 40-year-old at full price before any tax credit, up from $556 in 2026 (+20.3%). Molina is leaving the county.

Allendale County Hospital is in every network in our 2027 data. UnitedHealthcare's hospital network isn't in our data, so we check it in UnitedHealthcare's directory.

One silver plan in the county sets the size of your tax credit, and its price rose 20.3% at every age.

Each insurance company's lowest-priced plan at each metal level:

Ambetter has the lowest silver price, $654 at age 40, which is $16 below the plan your tax credit is based on. Your tax credit is set by that $670 plan. So if you get a tax credit and pick the lower-priced silver, you pay a little less than the $670 plan's price after your tax credit. UnitedHealthcare is the highest-priced company here at every metal level it sells.

Molina is leaving. Molina sold 12 plans here in 2026 and has none for 2027, so Molina members need a new plan. Our article on Molina's exit walks through the options.

Plan counts changed. Ambetter went from 9 plans to 17; BCBS went from 22 plans to 14; UnitedHealthcare stays at 17 plans. Every BCBS plan here uses its statewide BlueEssentials or BlueConnect EPO network.

The plan your tax credit is based on changed companies. In 2026 it was Molina Silver Standard. In 2027 it is Ambetter Signature Silver. When that plan changes, your tax credit changes with it. That is why we tell clients not to auto-renew without checking.

The table also lists hospitals in neighboring counties from our network data.

Networks and drug lists can change; we verify with the insurance company before you enroll. Last verified: November 2026.

• The BCBS EPO includes all three hospitals on this list.
• Ambetter includes Allendale County Hospital and Colleton Medical Center but not Hampton Regional Medical Center.
• UnitedHealthcare's network isn't in our hospital data. Check UnitedHealthcare's directory for each hospital and doctor before you enroll.

Every plan here is an HMO except the BCBS BlueEssentials and BlueConnect EPOs; the SC Marketplace has no PPOs. Neither type covers out-of-network care except emergencies.

You rarely see a doctor and want the lowest premium. BCBS BlueConnect Bronze 1 is the cheapest plan at $537 for a 40-year-old, with a $7,500 deductible, a $12,000 yearly limit on what you pay, $50 primary care visits and $25 generics. It includes every hospital in the table above.

You want the lowest silver price. Ambetter Streamlined Silver is $654 at age 40, with a $4,700 deductible, an $11,300 yearly limit on what you pay, $20 primary care visits and $3 generics. Of the hospitals above, it includes Allendale County Hospital and Colleton Medical Center.

You expect regular care and want a low deductible. Ambetter Signature Gold is $699 at age 40, $29 more than the silver plan your tax credit is based on, with a $2,500 deductible, an $8,600 yearly limit on what you pay, $30 primary care visits and $15 generics. Of the hospitals above, it includes Allendale County Hospital and Colleton Medical Center. If you need a hospital it leaves out, BCBS's lowest gold is $819.

You want the widest choice of SC hospitals. BCBS's BlueEssentials and BlueConnect plans use a statewide EPO network, which can matter if you get care outside the county. Every BCBS plan in Allendale County uses it.

You're thinking about UnitedHealthcare. UnitedHealthcare's lowest silver here is $847 at age 40, compared with $654 for the county's lowest silver. Your tax credit is the same whichever company you choose, because it's based on that one silver plan.

Your income is lower. Below 250% of the federal poverty level, silver plans come with cost-sharing reductions that lower the deductible and the yearly limit on what you pay. Our cost-sharing reductions guide explains how it works.
