Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

Doing the Right Thing™, Appeals Required

“We do what’s right, not what’s easy.”

This is a published Centene behavior. We bring these up a lot when the company hits another increasingly frequent failure bump in the road. It’s the culture leadership pushed down on employees.

Then, when leadership fails to live it, those same employees become a workforce optimization opportunity.

In 2025, 93% of appealed Centene Medicare Advantage prior-authorization denials were overturned. What? Yeah, 93%

Maybe update the values poster: “We do what’s right, not what’s easy.” Might I be so bold to suggest a more realistic behavior, if we’re being honest might be “We do what’s right after you make us.”

Final observation: doing what’s right shouldn’t have an appeals process.

@hp the place is scrambling trying to get work done. Lack of training and personnel is creating havoc. I know of an all star with 10+ years at the company leaving next month. No severance, just decided it wasn’t worth it anymore.. consider yourself lucky.

@h1 Cetene basically says appeals are an important protection against bad decisions. Georgia and Texas can confirm this! It's just patients who are expected to get tired and give up/go away.

Appeals are apparently a burden when patients use them, and a business strategy when Centene does.

You are trying to be a good person, but you are working for a criminal organization. The appeals process if functioning EXACTLY AS DESIGNED. Some people don’t want to go through the process and give up. That is how they maximize profits.

Place the "not by" values 1st and the "live by" last and that's exactly what this Company has proven time and time again.

@dv Wow, you really hate the truth, huh? You're like a cockroach who prefers to move in the dark and despise the light. I'll continue to use a message board to send messages and you can ignore em or cry more about em.

What's your favorite Centene behavior? OR... What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

“We have candid , courageous conversations with care”. Well then!!

Let’s talk about the significant misallocation of resources, lack of assessment for the impact of our actions, constant changing of systems and structures and zero accountability throughout the organization while removing resources needed to truly fulfill the mission..

Yet, any pushback in any way is met with hostility or being seen as being difficult to work with. Are we truly living up to our values, really?! It’s all a smoke show! It’s all lies. Actions speak louder than words.. and we get the see the actions in real time. Incompetence being trickled down and outsourced to the lowest bidder.

zero impact assessment for the significant organizational changes that executive leadership chose to undergo, zero transition resources, while parading throughout what a great success it has been! The cards were shown! No planning, just leading with vibes and the next best shiny thing.

“the workforce rallied around the changes”
No acknowledgment that morale has
imploded? Really? No acknowledgment that top talent is leaving in droves and is tired of all this BS? Or that fear and chaos that has spread through the employee base? Telling, quite telling.

The icing on the cake, First TownHall meeting after letting go of thousands of people: let me introduce you to the newest members of our team! Here’s some reinforcement that we will prioritize people we’ve never worked with instead of the development and promoting of people who have worked with us for years!

Whats YOUR favorite ice cream flavor!?
