Could anyone clarify whether we are required to pay the initial premium amount sent by Optum, which reflects the total before the subsidy is applied? I was advised by CNC HR that we must pay the full amount upfront and that Optum will later deduct... — read more

I called HR and was on hold literally for 45 minutes only for them to never answer and hang up. I wonder what the timeline after the 7 days revocation period is.

Will it ever be enough?

Do you think I gave a hoot about some damn ethics or security risk training due? Lol let alone a progress checkpoint? Kick rocks!

If you got one and refused it, I don't understand you. Centene is a sinking ship. Why you'd choose to stay on with such a good alternative is beyond me.

So I'm over the 7 day wait period. Does anyone know if there is any notification after that or do we hurry up and wait?

Two Centenes showed up today. At Deutsche Bank, the investor story was margin recovery: fewer Medicaid members, a major Florida contract exit, Medicare Advantage still working toward break-even, and hundreds of millions in severance... — read more 

Centene gave the Deutsche Bank crowd a perfectly respectable update today: guidance holds, Q3 trends look like Q2, Medicaid margins are positive, and the turnaround is on track. All true. But it was also a remarkably selective story. The same... — read more

Have they mention how many people accepted the VSP? And how many RIFs this year?

Just disconnected from speaking with an Optum Financial call rep after receiving a letter from them that outlines premiums greater than what was agreed upon with Centene in the VSP separation agreement. The Optum Financial rep informed me they... — read more 

After finding out that my whole leadership took VSP and now part of a re-org I feel like my “new” team will be dissolved with my leadership departure. I would have taken the VSP if I would have known. Wondering if others feel that same.

Has anyone who accepted VSP been able to access their last paycheck stub? If so, how did you access the 09/11 paystub. I tried logging into Dayforce and resetting my password but the system no longer recognizes my username.

Do we need fairytales to hide the greed, fraud and cronyism? Elizabeth Brinn started Family Hospital Physician Associates, not a massive corporation named Centene. The Original Entity (1984): Elizabeth Brinn incorporated a small, single-city... — read more 

I know we all freaked out when we received the letter from Optum Financial with the COBRA info, but I want to make sure everyone understands that is NOT our out of pocket premium. Here is what you need to do (I just did it): either mail the form in... — read more 

For those whom took the VSP or impacted by ISP, what happened to your 401k loan? Did you have to pay the balance remaining immediately or did Fidelity Investments allow you to continue making biweekly payments?

How can you find your first day of unemployment with Centene to put on an unemployment application? My company was bought by Centene several years after I started.

Has anyone received a letter from Optum / Cobra after taking the VSP. I got a letter today stating that my premium due starting 10/1 are a total of $1,188.74 PER MONTH. How does that make sense? I thought they were paying a portion? this is... — read more 

I just kinda had a feeling I’d be let go, if not then.. eventually. Well my job along with others is posted. We had been told that we were in jeporday.. which is still being told to the remaining teams… confused on why they would repost a position... — read more 

Is anyone optimistic that we will see the severance pay on the 25th? For those who accepted on the 4th? The seven day revocation period has ended if you submitted on that date and the 25th would be the next pay period… or do you guys think it will be... — read more

For those who received the ISP. Has anyone gotten the letter? I have only received the email for returning the equipment.

Very disappointed that no email was sent corporate wide on remembering 9/11 and celebrating our first responders. Everything else seems to be celebrated or talked about, so this is a HUGE MISS by the company.

I think at least half of employees would be gone by now. The lack of jobs is the only thing that's keeping so many of us here.

Things are getting pretty bad on the Medicare side of the business. Anyone paying attention should probably get ready for some major restructuring.

Or do they just run on feelings, vibes, and whatever feels convenient in the moment?

How many are still expected to be laid off? Is there a number? Any indication that we might be nearing the end?

Sorry if this has been answered already, but does anyone know how I can get the details of my final paycheck?

I remember when getting hired here felt like a true start of a real career. You could move into different roles, get regular raises, earn promotions, and actually believe you'd have a future here. People stayed because there was something worth... — read more

Did you get the email for equipment return? I've seen posts in here talking about how to send equipment back. If you talked to IT are they telling you to send back the dual monitors. I need to get this out of my house 🏠 😩. I
