The payer’s international reach includes the United Kingdom and Spain, with over $2 billion in annual revenue between health plans and hospitals it owns, according to its Dec. 10 Investor Day presentation. The portion is a fraction of its estimated $125.2 billion to $126.4 billion in anticipated revenue for 2021. 

The divestment news comes as Centene looks to bolster its business in the United States.

As 2021 comes to a close, Centene looks to finalize its acquisition of Phoenix-based behavioral health provider Magellan Health. The payer also anticipates up to $137.9 billion in revenue for 2022.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
