My Gibson Experience
“With a little attention on our part and the expertise of Gibson & Associates, we now offer the best benefits we've ever had. Anyone can get you enrolled in a plan with a reasonable network of providers. The Gibsons found a way to do all of this and save money. As a result, we have been able to retain our best people and add more to keep this business healthy and growing.”

South Carolina Manufacturer's Alliance/Lowcountry Manufacturer's Council
The South Carolina Manufacturer’s Alliance (SCMA) Health Plan is a statewide association plan that offers benefits and rates that are exclusive to manufacturers. This gives companies greater flexibility in offering benefit options to their employees. We are currently able to offer the plan through three providers: Carolina Care Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Blue Choice Health Plan.
Since its inception in 2001, the SCMA Health Plan has saved employers an average of 38%. Our annual increases of 3% to 5% each year, versus the state average of 15-18%, have enabled us to control costs over a long period of time. To date, more than 300 companies have applied for the SCMA Health Plan. Currently, there are more than 200 member companies, 4,300+ employees and 12,000+ total members enrolled.
For Companies located in the tri-county area of Charleston (Charleston, Berkley, and Dorchester) your company will also be a member of the Lowcountry Manufacturer’s Council. This gives added benefits to your company.
