Behavioral health in
South Carolina.
South Carolina behavioral health practices operate under Healthy Connections Medicaid, the state managed care program administered through the SC Department of Health and Human Services. With managed care plans serving the Medicaid population and commercial insurance expanding as population growth attracts employers to the Upstate and coastal markets, practices here face a payer mix that is more complex than most Southeast states of comparable size.

Who founded BHSAI and what clinical experience informs the system?+
BHSAI was founded by Felice Martin, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC009575, State of Georgia).

Every feature reflects that operational experience.
