Business
Centene Corporation Centene Corporation manages a leading portfolio of government-sponsored healthcare programs, including Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Prescription Drug Plans, Health Insurance Marketplace plans under the Ambetter brand, and TRICARE; it offers services through subsidiaries such as Wellcare for Medicare products and Envolve for pharmacy benefits management, alongside correctional healthcare via Centurion. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the company operates across all 50 states, serving more than 27 million members, primarily low-income, under-insured, and uninsured individuals, with a local approach featuring community-based health plans and innovative programs focused on physical health, emotional wellness, and social determinants of health. Founded in 1984 as a nonprofit Medicaid plan, Centene Corporation went public in 2001 and has expanded through strategic acquisitions like Wellcare in recent years; in 2024, it sold Collaborative Health Systems to Astrana Health and announced the divestiture of Magellan Specialty Health to Evolent Health, while entering a new credit agreement in March 2025 to support ongoing operations amid robust revenue growth to $44.9 billion in premium and service revenues for Q3 2025.
