About Us
Founded as a single health plan in 1984, Centene Corporation has established itself as a leader in the healthcare services field. Our core philosophy is that quality healthcare is best delivered locally. By recognizing the cultural and ethnic sensitivities of the communities we serve, we are better prepared to act in the best interest of our core constituency - Medicaid recipients. In addition, we provide specialty services including behavioral health, disease management, managed vision, nurse triage, pharmacy benefit management and treatment compliance to our own and other healthcare organizations.
As we continue to grow, we use the phrase Reaching for the Summit™ to describe our dual goal of striving for excellence in offering quality healthcare to our members while building a leading multi-line managed care enterprise. More importantly, it also describes the dedication and passion that compels and drives our employees.
