Centene's Arizona Subsidiary Secures Statewide Long-Term Care Medicaid Contract

Centene Corporation announced that its subsidiary, Arizona Complete Health, has joined a settlement agreement with the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) and three other health plans to provide managed care for the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS). Starting October 1, 2025, Arizona Complete Health will offer statewide coverage for elderly and physically disabled enrollees under the ALTCS-EPD program.

The agreement grants a three-year contract with potential annual renewals for up to six years. Centene emphasized its long-standing relationship with AHCCCS, serving over 400,000 members statewide, and committed to ensuring a seamless transition and improved care coordination for the nearly 26,000 individuals supported by the ALTCS program.

The initiative is part of Centene’s broader goal to enhance access to high-quality, integrated healthcare services for underserved populations.
