Absolute Total Care has important news about our Healthy Connections Kids (HCK) program. As of October 1, 2010, the Healthy Connections Kids will terminate. The HCK member will be transferred to SC Healthy Connections (SCHC), also known as Medicaid. Members will receive the same benefits that SCHC (Medicaid) members currently receive.

Our goal is to ensure that all Absolute Total Care members continue to receive excellent, uninterrupted care when the change becomes effective. We are focused on making sure that our providers do not experience any disruption to their current membership or to the service they provide for Absolute Total Care members.

Special Message for Our HCK Members:

As a member of Absolute Total Care’s HCK program, you will not have to take any action to keep your benefits. You will continue to be part of the Absolute Total Care plan after the change takes place and will receive new ID cards from both SC Healthy Connections and Absolute Total Care. Please make sure that you take both cards to your doctor visits.

However, Absolute Total Care is not approved for Medicaid in Abbeville County. Members in Abbeville County will be enrolled in an approved health plan by SCDHHS effective  October 1, 2010.
