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

If you buy your own health insurance in Marion County, you have four Marketplace insurance companies to choose from for 2027: Ambetter from Absolute Total Care, BlueCross BlueShield of SC, First Choice Next and Oscar, offering 62 plans in all. The silver plan your tax credit is based on costs $629 a month for a 40-year-old at full price before tax credits, up from $551 in 2026 (+14.0%). Molina is leaving the county, and Oscar is new.

MUSC Health Marion Medical Center is in the BCBS EPO, the Blue Pee Dee HMO, Ambetter and First Choice Next but not Oscar.

Your tax credit is sized from one silver plan, the second-lowest-cost silver plan in the county. Its price rose 14.0% at every age.

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

Ambetter has the lowest silver price, $614 at age 40, which is $15 below the silver plan your tax credit is based on. Because your tax credit is tied to that $629 plan, a buyer with a tax credit who picks the lowest-priced silver pays a little less than they would for the $629 plan after the tax credit. Oscar is the highest-priced insurance 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.

Oscar is new. Oscar enters with 14 plans; its lowest silver is $1,078 at age 40. Our Oscar 2027 article covers its plans and network.

Plan counts changed. Ambetter went from 9 plans to 17; BCBS went from 31 plans to 23; First Choice Next stays at 8 plans. BCBS kept its Blue Pee Dee HMO and statewide EPO plans.

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.

You rarely see a doctor and want the lowest premium. BCBS Blue Pee Dee Bronze 2 is the cheapest plan at $504 for a 40-year-old, but its $10,600 deductible equals its yearly limit on what you pay, so beyond preventive care it pays little until you spend $10,600. Of the hospitals above, it includes MUSC Health Marion Medical Center, MUSC Health Florence Medical Center and Conway Medical Center.

You want the lowest silver price. Ambetter Streamlined Silver is $614 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. Ambetter Signature Gold is $657 at age 40, $28 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. It also includes every hospital in the table.

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. BCBS also sells the Blue Pee Dee HMO here, which uses a smaller regional network.

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.
