WellCare
Wellcare is a major American government-sponsored health insurance brand focused primarily on Medicare products. Its offerings include Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Prescription Drug Plans, Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans and related member-support services. Wellcare operates in numerous states and provides members with access to healthcare networks, prescription-drug benefits, preventive services, care management and additional benefits that vary by plan and geographic market.
Wellcare historically operated as WellCare Health Plans, Inc., a Tampa, Florida-based publicly traded healthcare company. In January 2020, Centene Corporation acquired WellCare, after which Wellcare became a wholly owned part of Centene’s healthcare organization. Centene later consolidated several Medicare brands under the Wellcare name, expanding Wellcare’s role as the company’s principal national Medicare brand.
Today, Wellcare is not an independently headquartered public corporation. Its ultimate corporate parent is Centene Corporation, headquartered at Centene Plaza, 7700 Forsyth Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri 63105. Wellcare continues to use a general mailing address in Tampa, Florida for member correspondence, while legal matters are specifically directed to Centene’s St. Louis headquarters. Centene reported approximately 61,100 employees and tens of millions of health-plan members as of mid-2026.
