Centene CEO London Addresses Issues With Medi-Cal Rx Launch
April
29
Sarah London, Centene Corp.’s new CEO, acknowledged during the insurer’s April 26 first-quarter earnings call that “there were challenges out of the gate” when the company’s Magellan Health unit took over California’s Medi-Cal Rx program in January. But, she added, “I think the team recovered incredibly well.”
London’s comments came after the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) said it is investigating Centene’s PBM practices following a California Healthline article earlier this month that detailed numerous issues with the launch. A DHCS spokesperson confirmed the investigation via email to AIS Health, a division of MMIT, but would not elaborate on details.
