Centene added two material risks to its 2025 10-K focused on healthcare policy and industry reputation: the potential expiration of enhanced advance premium tax credits for Marketplace members and negative public perception of managed care industry practices. The company substantively modified nine existing risks, including significant updates to its litigation exposure, Medicare program vulnerabilities, and acquisition performance disclosures, suggesting evolving operational challenges across these areas. No previously disclosed risks were removed from the filing.
