Centene to offer insurance in exchanges in 3 more states

Centene Corp.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — At a time when insurers are pulling out of offering health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, one company says it’ll start covering more Americans.

Centene Corp. says it will begin offering coverage for insurance exchanges in Missouri, Kansas and Nevada. The company hasn’t said whether its foray into Missouri and Kansas will fill a 32-county void that will result from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City’s decision to leave that individual insurance marketplace next year.

That Blue Cross decision affects about 67,000 people.

Centene also plans to expand in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Texas and Washington.
