CENTENE

Centene Corporation is at the forefront of innovation and growth for government-sponsored and commercial healthcare, providing access to fully integrated, high-quality, and cost-effective services that help people lead healthier lives. The company’s local approach addresses the needs of under-insured and uninsured individuals who often lack the resources required to sustain optimal health and wellness. Centene began as a single nonprofit health plan in the basement of a family hospital in M... ilwaukee, Wisconsin. Elizabeth “Betty” Brinn, a former hospital bookkeeper, founded the company as Family Hospital Physician Associates in 1984. After an initial period of localized growth, Michael Neidorff joined as president and chief executive officer in 1996, spearheading the company rebrand to Centene and moving its headquarters to St. Louis, Missouri. By the early 2000s, Centene had transformed into a publicly-traded company serving communities across many different U.S. states. Mr. Neidorff’s leadership and knowledge of the healthcare industry led to significant growth, and Centene exceeded $1 billion in revenue in 2004. The same year, Mr. Neidorff was named Chairman of the Board of Directors. After becoming a FORTUNE 500® company in 2010, Centene expanded coverage for the military community, and operations in commercial insurance and correctional healthcare, while acquiring large companies like Health Net, WellCare Health Plans, and Magellan.. In 2020, the company broke ground on its new East Coast headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The new campus joins two other headquarters for the enterprise in St. Louis, Missouri and Sacramento, California. In 2021, Centene ranked No. 24 on the FORTUNE 500® list of largest U.S. corporations by revenue, up from No. 42 in 2020. Centene was also named to FORTUNE® magazine's 2022 list of the World's Most Admired Companies for the fourth consecutive year. In 2020, Centene was included on the prestigious FORTUNE® Change the World list for the third time, recognizing companies that make a positive social impact through activities that are part of their core business strategy. Additionally in 2021, Centene was recognized as Top 50 Company for Diversity by DiversityInc, Top Organization for Diversity by Modern Healthcare magazine, Leading Disability Employer by the National Organization on Disability, Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality by The Human Rights Campaign Foundation, a global leader by Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index, and one of the Top Veteran-Friendly Companies by U.S. Veterans Magazine, among other recognitions. Now a multi-national company, Centene provides coverage in all 50 U.S. states and internationally. More than 26 million members rely on Centene to access a wide range of insurance solutions, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, correctional, and behavioral health services. Centene prioritizes the development of technology that addresses systemic conditions impacting the whole health needs of underserved populations. As technology plays an increasingly critical role in diagnosing, managing, and treating disease, Centene understands that it enables better health outcomes for members, lessening the burden for providers, and allowing more automation and efficiency for business operations. Also, as a steward to a significant set of data and insights, Centene leverages this data to not only shape but lead the digital transformation of healthcare to enhance and improve the overall healthcare experience. Although Centene has grown into the #1 insurer in the U.S. Health Insurance Marketplace, it has never lost its focus on the individual or its passion for community health. Remaining connected to the individuals and families that need care most is central to Centene’s commitment to shaping a better world of healthcare for the communities it serves.More
