WellCare and Centene Combination:
WellCare Partners,
We are pleased to announce that Centene has completed its combination with WellCare. With the completion of this transaction, we have created a premier healthcare enterprise focused on government-sponsored healthcare programs and a leader in Medicaid, Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace. WellCare is extremely excited to begin this chapter with Centene.
Both WellCare and Centene believe that affordable and quality healthcare is best delivered locally. WellCare brings to Centene a high-quality Medicare platform, increases their exposure to government-sponsored healthcare solutions through its Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Plans, and further extends their Medicaid offerings. The combined company will be headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the location of Centene’s headquarters. We will continue to have substantial operations in WellCare’s home state of Florida, consistent with the size of the business.
Centene doesn’t just embrace the future, but also takes the lead to build on competitive strengths and serve government partners, providers and members. Some highlights about the combined company:
- With the combination complete, Centene now provides access to high-quality and affordable healthcare to its more than 24 million members across all 50 states, or 1 in 15 individuals across the nation.
- We are better positioned to serve members with increased scale and more comprehensive and differentiated solutions to meet their needs.
- We will continue investing in technology and programs for the benefit of all stakeholders.
- We will continue to focus on leading the market with affordable, high-quality, culturally-sensitive healthcare services and enhancing our efforts to address social determinants of health.
We look forward to realizing the benefits of this strategic combination as we continue to build on our mission to further transform the health of the communities we serve, one person at a time.
