Any idea on how Medicaid Indiana is doing?

So I am a bit confused why would mass layoffs happen right before open enrollment? Who is going to handle that when 1) people voluntarily leave 2) people are still going to get laid off after that 3) I doubt Centene would get back 2 million members... — read more 

I wonder if there's anything the leadership thinks is truly essential.

Eliminate half of all VP roles. We should be fine without them. We will save millions to meet the cost savings target.

HR call Monday with my manager.

Explain it to me like I’m five… how can Centene eliminate a bunch of Medicaid staff if the individual state contract requires certain positions to be in place?

This is excruciating not knowing really what to do. I feel like it's all a game. Spin the wheel or pass and hope you pick the right curtain. We live paycheck to paycheck as it is. Gosh if I was a zillionair I would give up most of my salary first... — read more

I didn't receive the offer, but I'm still curious, what kind of medical coverage comes with it? Do you get a full year, 60 days, or something else? Considering current costs of health insurance, that's be the one thing that'd make me decide for or... — read more 

Anyone been able to confirm with the state of New York if they would approve of the UI Claim after being laid off due via the VSP? Sounds like each state is different. Based on my initial readings, sounding like this'd be an eligible scenario for UI... — read more

Question? I was just about to put in FMLA paperwork. I know this is a HR question but does anybody know how these things work or how to place it and then do the VSP. Is it better to just put in the paperwork and hold out for the layoffs?

What if I put in for vsp and got denied because boss felt like saying no. Another round of layoffs come and there’s no enhanced benefit but now I really get laid off. I got sc--wed out of the first one because somebody decided not to approve me. ... — read more

I bet the corporation is going full on AI where UR and Care Coordination Nurses will be replaced. Instead of paying $70,000 + benefits to nurses. It is cheaper to use AI that work 24/7, no sick time, no PTO, no health benefits. I can tell you l have... — read more

Fideliscare of NJ. Care Management. If we do not apply for VSP, come end of July and they need to layoff, who makes the decision about who will be layed off? Does the direct supervisor have input? What about the manager? Who makes the final... — read more 

With the VSP deadlines approaching, it’s obvious headcount is getting slashed. I'm also thinking about how this margin recovery squeeze is going to butcher our 2027 benefits. Any visibility on the 2027 plan designs? Specifically, is the mandatory... — read more

Which agency puts contractors to work for Centene as a client?

Anyone in the Ambetter Regulatory Operations department affected? I’m a Regulatory Operations Analyst and am worried, but haven’t been able to find out much more.

Hi. Does anyone know which states will be affected by the lay offs occurring soon? Does anyone know if the layoffs will occur across the board? Thank you.

Once MFN was forced out it’s been downhill. Personally I think we will get purchased by someone at the end of the year after the “Big Bill” goes in effect.

The Chief Executive Officer of Health Net of California, Brian Ternan leaving - will be declared later today.

What’s really gross is the posts on Linkdin - #15 in the Fortune 500, such a great place to work… etc etc- and then there are the job postings that show as less than 24 hours old. So much for a hiring freeze I guess.

Only thing I see is 4 weeks of additional salary for VSP. I also see prorated bonus on the VSP offer. Not sure if this is just for VSP or prorated bonus is offered on standards layoffs too. Let me know if you have any insights.

I know of at least one person maternity leave that they never reached out to about the VSP. This person had no idea until a coworker reached out to them. I wonder how many people on leave were never informed?

So if you don’t accept the VSP, and we know there will be a wave after that. How would Centene know who gets laid off and who doesn’t? If you don’t have anything nice to say, please do not comment

Having worked for this company for many years, I can’t tell you enough about all the “fluff” six-figure upper leadership roles that are simply created to promote up, and aren’t even needed. Wasted money. And here we are.

We all know an involuntary round is coming, and it'll most likely have a lesser package attached to it. So those of us who want to stay can say no to a VSP just to end up laid off a few months later and with less to show for it. Kind of makes it... — read more

Did any managers or Directors receive the VSP email? PLs have been completely silent and nonexistent about the VSP.

This is being presented as an individual choice, even though that choice may ultimately be denied if you decide to apply. The eligibility criteria are intentionally broad, which helps protect the company from age or demographic discrimination... — read more
