Centene (NYSE:CNC) made a groundbreaking announcement on Monday, revealing the selection of Michael Carson as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of its esteemed Medicare business, Wellcare.

With nearly three decades of reputable leadership, operational prowess, and industry expertise in both the payer and provider space, Carson’s appointment signifies an exciting era for Wellcare.

Before joining Wellcare, Carson helmed the reins at CareAbout, Bright Health Plan, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, leaving an indelible mark of success and transformation.

His exceptional track record includes spearheading the formation and rebuilding of Medicare businesses at both Amerigroup and Anthem, earning him the distinction of a visionary leader.

Carson’s strategic vision and unparalleled insight will be instrumental in spearheading Wellcare’s performance, strategy, and growth at Centene (CNC), paving the way for the company’s future success.

This pivotal transition will see Richard Fisher, the former CEO of Wellcare, transitioning to the operations leadership team under Chief Operating Officer Susan Smith. Fisher will play a key role in overseeing vital financial and operational processes across Shared Services, while also leading the enterprise development, management, and optimization of Centene’s crucial vendor partnerships.
