It’s business as usual in how you work with us
Centene Corporation has completed its acquisition of WellCare Health Plans, Inc. (WellCare). WellCare and Health Net* in California are bringing our health plans together to better serve our members, providers, partners, and communities. This joining of our organizations will allow us to become a more robust health plan and enhance the delivery of best-in-class care to our members.
Seamless for providers
Right now, nothing is changing. You should continue to treat members from each health plan as you do under your current contract(s). Your existing provider support channels will remain in place. And your patients’ current Member ID cards will remain valid as well. We will communicate any relevant changes in health plan operations to you well in advance.
