Block Grant 2505SC5ADM

The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) has been awarded a $251,395,805 Medicaid Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CFDA 93.778 Medical Assistance Program). This fiscal year 2025 grant will provide critical financial assistance to the state for administering South Carolina's Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) services, including medical care payments, eligibility determinations, claims processing, and overall program oversight. As the largest healthcare payor in the state, SCDHHS leverages these substantial federal block grant funds to deliver comprehensive healthcare and social services to vulnerable low-income populations, including children, pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. The agency collaborates with managed care organizations, local health departments, universities, and non-profit organizations to ensure access and quality of care across South Carolina.
