Centene misses the cut in bids for Indiana’s Medicaid program

Centene Corp. has lost out on a lucrative $3.8 billion contract for a new managed care program in Indiana, the St. Louis Business Journal reports. The Indiana Department of Administration recommended on March 1 that negotiations begin with four bidders to provide services so Medicaid recipients over the age of 60 can continue to live in their homes: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Humana Healthy Horizons in Indiana, Molina Healthcare of Indiana and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.
