In South Carolina, the Columbia health insurance market caters to right around 130,000 residents and include such great health insurance companies as Aetna, AARP, Cigna, Coventry, Humana, United Health One, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina.

After studying different health insurance quotes for several different age groups and family sizes in Columbia, it is pretty apparent that Coventry One is the price leader and is in some cases nearly half the price of the competition for similar plans.

The second most affordable (in most demographics) is United Health One, which has a pretty standard type of plan in South Carolina.  I recommend their Copay Select plan in most cases, and the HSA 100 plan if you are looking for a Health Saving Account.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina is just not that competitive in South Carolina, though they might be in certain demographics, for a 59 year old male in Columbia, however they were not really close to Coventry, but ran a close third to United Health One.

Humana and Cigna were very nearly the same price but came in fourth place.  Cigna though is very competitive in some demographics and might even be number two in your demographic.  I recommend running a quote for yourself, if you can to see what the situation is for you.

AARP doesn’t offer plans in Columbia and Aetna has a very limited plan choice, so they are not really significant in your quest for affordable Columbia health insurance.
