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

If you buy your own health insurance in Dillon County, you have three Marketplace insurance companies to choose from for 2027: Ambetter from Absolute Total Care, BlueCross BlueShield of SC and First Choice Next, offering 39 plans in all. The silver plan your tax credit is based on costs $683 a month for a 40-year-old at full price before tax credits, up from $559 in 2026 (+22.2%). Molina is leaving the county.

McLeod Health Dillon is in the BCBS EPO and Ambetter but not First Choice Next.

Your tax credit is sized from one silver plan, the second-lowest-cost silver plan in the county. Its price rose 22.2% at every age.

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

Ambetter has the lowest silver price, $667 at age 40, which is $16 below the silver plan your tax credit is based on. Because your tax credit is tied to that $683 plan, a buyer with a tax credit who picks the lowest-priced silver pays a little less than they would for the $683 plan after the tax credit. The cheapest gold plan, $696 at age 40, costs $13 a month more than the silver plan your tax credit is based on. For someone who expects to use their coverage, that is the number to look at first.

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; First Choice Next stays at 8 plans. Every BCBS plan here uses its statewide BlueEssentials or BlueConnect EPO network.

The silver plan your tax credit is based on changed. In 2026 it was Ambetter Focused Silver. In 2027 it is Ambetter Signature Silver. The insurance company is the same, but the plan and its price are different, and your tax credit moves with that plan. 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 covered 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 all three hospitals on this list.
• First Choice Next includes MUSC Health Marion Medical Center but not McLeod Health Dillon or McLeod Regional Medical Center.

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. First Choice Next Bronze Essential is the cheapest plan at $527 for a 40-year-old, but its $12,000 deductible equals its yearly limit on what you pay, so beyond preventive care it pays little until you spend $12,000. Of the hospitals above, it includes MUSC Health Marion Medical Center.

You want the lowest silver price. Ambetter Streamlined Silver is $667 at age 40, with a $4,700 deductible, an $11,300 yearly limit on what you pay, $20 primary care visits and $3 generics. It includes every hospital in the table above.

You expect regular care and want a low deductible. First Choice Next Gold Enhanced is $696 at age 40, $13 more than the silver plan your tax credit is based on, with a $1,000 deductible, a $10,000 yearly limit on what you pay, $35 primary care visits and $5 generics. Of the hospitals above, it includes MUSC Health Marion Medical Center. If you need a hospital it leaves out, Ambetter's lowest gold is $713 and BCBS's lowest gold is $837.

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 Dillon County uses it.

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.
