Centene saw revenues of $12 billion in the second quarter ended June 30, compared to $10.9 billion during the same quarter in 2016. Centene attributed the 10 percent year-over-year revenue jump to growth in its ACA exchange business.
Centene’s Chairman and CEO Michael Neidorff said the payer’s “marketplace business continues to be particularly strong, confirming our business as usual approach.”
The payer also saw operating expenses rise in the second quarter of 2017 to $11.5 billion, a year-over-year increase from $10.5 billion reported in the same period in 2016.
