Centene Expands CHOICE Arrangements in Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma
Centene has rolled out new benefit programs that support its CHOICE arrangements in Indiana, Ohio and Oklahoma, signaling a push to broaden its managed care footprint. Analysts note the company’s turnaround still has room to grow, and its target price remains well above the current level. The broader managed‑care landscape is also shifting, with UnitedHealth reporting higher margins but lower membership, a trend that may influence competitive dynamics.
