About Centene

Centene helps people without enough insurance get the medical care they need. It connects families to doctors and health plans through government programs like Medicaid. The company also helps members find essentials like food and housing to stay healthy.

What Centene Offers

Medicaid: Health coverage for low-income families and people with disabilities; accounted for 57% of total external revenues in 2025.
Commercial: Individual and family plans sold through the Health Insurance Marketplace; accounted for 21% of total external revenues in 2025.
Medicare: Specialized plans for seniors and people with complex health needs; accounted for 19% of total external revenues in 2025.
Other Services: Specialty pharmacy, vision, and dental care for government and commercial groups; accounted for 3% of total external revenues in 2025.

Major Moves and Changes

Signed a definitive agreement in December 2025 to sell the remaining Magellan Health businesses.
Sold Collaborative Health Systems and Circle Health Group during 2024 as part of a portfolio review.
Divested Magellan Specialty Health and Apixio in 2023 to focus on core insurance segments.
Expanded Ambetter Health Solutions to 13 states in 2026 to support new employer-funded insurance models.

What Makes the Business Different

Centene manages health plans locally to stay close to the specific needs of each community and its doctors. The company uses data and artificial intelligence to spot gaps in care and coordinate services for the most vulnerable populations.

Tracking the Recent Numbers

Total revenue reached $194.8 billion for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Medicaid membership totaled 12.5 million people across 30 states as of December 31, 2025.
Quarterly revenue rose to $49.7 billion in Q4 2025, a 21.9% increase from $40.8 billion in Q4 2024.
Operating cash flow was $5.1 billion for the full year ended December 31, 2025.
Free cash flow grew to $224 million in Q4 2025, up 130.2% from a loss of $741 million in Q4 2024.

Bottom Line

Centene has transitioned from a small local health plan into the largest provider of government-sponsored insurance in the United States. Its recent moves to sell non-core businesses show a concentrated focus on Medicaid, Medicare, and the Health Insurance Marketplace.
