The Shuman Law Firm announces that it is investigating potential shareholder claims against certain officers and directors of Centene Corp. (“Centene” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CNC). Centene provides health plans in over twenty states through Medicaid, Medicare, and the Health Insurance Marketplace.

The Firm’s investigation relates to the Company’s approximately $6 billion merger with Health Net, Inc. Following this acquisition, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its senior offices and directors alleging that the Company incorrectly accounted for Health Net’s underperforming health plans, including by understating certain reserves to account for losses in California, Arizona and Oregon. On July 26, 2016, the Company filed a report with the SEC on Form 8K, stating that it was reserving approximately $300 million for losses associated with Health Net’s insurance plan. Following this news, the Company’s shares price fell approximately 8%, leading to a market capitalization loss of nearly $1 billion.

Glenn toll free at (866) 569-4531 or email Mr. Shuman at kip@shumanlawfirm.com or Mr. Glenn at rusty@shumanlawfirm.com.
