Consolidated billing makes the facility responsible for most services, and Medicaid is the dominant long-stay payer in most states. In South Carolina that plays out against a specific set of rules rather than a general one.
Claims for South Carolina providers are adjudicated by Palmetto GBA (JM), which is also who hears the first level of appeal — so an appeal argument that works here works in every state that contractor covers.

What changes in South Carolina
Medicaid in South Carolina runs as Healthy Connections and is delivered largely through commercial managed care plans, so most Medicaid claims are adjudicated by an insurer with its own filing window and its own authorization rules rather than by the state.
