Process new group enrollments faster! 

• Download and follow the Enrollment Checklist to ensure all the necessary information is completed.

• Once completed, submit a secure email with all your enrollment information to smallgroupsales@bcbssc.com.

Completion time and phase determination is contingent upon receiving a completed package. Submitting the enrollment spreadsheet will reduce membership processing time by one day.

Submitting group benefit changes at renewal

If an existing group wishes to make a plan change, refer to the Group Rework Agent Checklist.  You can also view the Paperwork Submission Dates and Guidelines for group benefit changes in 2021. 

Group cancelations 

If a group wishes to cancel their group coverage, we ask that they fill out the Coverage Cancelation Request and return it to group.membership@bcbssc.com or fax to 803-264-0143.  The completed form needs to be submitted a week prior to the group requested termination date to stop further claim payments.
