The Cason Group strives to provide groups with the best medical coverage to fit their budgets. This often means switching them to a new carrier. When changing carriers, it’s important to make sure group members find physicians and hospitals that participate in that new carrier’s network. Carriers have detailed websites that sometimes leave us unsure if we are completing the search properly to give our groups accurate answers about potential providers.
Below is a list of our medical carriers with links to their websites and directions to follow when searching for providers.
Starmark
- Click on Networks Available by State (bottom right).
- Select the state where the group is located by clicking on that state on the map.
- Click on the network used for your group to be directed to the proper network provider’s page. In South Carolina, Aetna is most commonly used. Medcost is used along the coastal region in SC and in the entire state of North Carolina. For a select group of SC counties (Florence, Darlington, Dillon, Union and Greenwood) we use the Supermed Network.
