BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina plans to add 702 jobs in Columbia over the next five years, according to The State.
The job creation is paired with a $60 million-plus investment in the city. The announcements come after BCBS of South Carolina renegotiated a tax agreement with Columbia and South Carolina's Richland County, where the insurer is headquartered.
BCBS of South Carolina spokesperson Patti Embry-Tautenhan told The State the insurer employs about 10,500 people in the state's Midlands region.
