@OP Centene: 2023 to Present Only
Violation Tracker lists 39 records dated 2023 through 2026, with penalties totaling approximately $378.1 million. This is a raw total, and it may include overlapping entries for the same underlying matter. For example, a federal $11.25 million matter appears twice under different entities or agencies.
Year Records Listed penalties

2026 4 $1.74M
Total 39 $378.1M
Largest recent matters
California, 2023: $215.0 million, False Claims Act-related matter.
Indiana, 2023: $66.5 million, False Claims Act-related matter.
South Carolina, 2023: $25.9 million, False Claims Act-related matter.
Health Net LLC, California, 2025: $40.5 million, consumer-protection matter.
Centene and Health Net Federal Services, 2025: $11.25 million federal privacy-related matter. This appears to be reflected twice in the listing, so it should not automatically be counted twice.
Centene, 2025 to 2026: Medicare Parts C and D actions totaling about $2.4 million, including a $2.0 million 2025 action.
2023 to 2026: Several smaller insurance-regulatory matters, particularly involving Health Net of California and Health Net Community Solutions.
Key concerns
Government healthcare program compliance
The three large 2023 False Claims Act-related matters total about $307.4 million. They represent the overwhelming majority of the recent listed penalty amount and suggest material risk related to administration of state healthcare programs.
Continued enforcement activity
Lower-dollar matters continue after the large 2023 settlements, including insurance-regulator and Medicare actions through 2026. This does not establish that prior corrective actions failed, but it is a reason to review the company’s remediation, monitoring, and oversight practices.
Consumer and privacy risk
The $40.5 million consumer-protection matter and the $11.25 million privacy-related matter in 2025 point to risks beyond government-program compliance. Relevant areas for review include member communications, service delivery, complaints, data protection, and vendor controls.
Subsidiary oversight
Many of the recent records involve Health Net entities, while major matters are associated with Centene. This makes enterprise-wide consistency in compliance controls, internal audits, and corrective-action processes an important diligence question.
Important context
Violation Tracker groups violations by companies currently owned by Centene. Some records may therefore concern subsidiaries rather than Centene parent-company operations. Also, settlements and penalties do not necessarily constitute admissions of liability.
