Centene Corporation is a Fortune 500 healthcare company founded in 1984. It delivers healthcare through locally branded health plans and embedded community teams, with a stated focus on increasing access to affordable, quality-focused care. The company operates nationwide across the United States, serving approximately 28 million members - representing more than one in fifteen individuals in the country.
Its operational model centres on tailoring health plans to local communities rather than offering a single national product. This local approach is supported by community-based teams that coordinate care and services for members enrolled in Medicaid, Medicare, and other government-sponsored programmes, as well as commercial insurance markets.
The company promotes a collaborative culture built around five values: Accountability, Courage, Curiosity, Trust, and Service. Employees are encouraged to direct their own career development, and the firm offers remote, hybrid, and field work schedules, operating with what it describes as flexibility and trust.
