Staywell Health Plan

Staywell Health Plan was a prominent managed care organization primarily serving Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries in Florida. Operating as a brand under WellCare Health Plans, the company provided comprehensive healthcare services, including medical, behavioral health, and prescription drug coverage. In 2020, its parent company, WellCare, was acquired by Centene Corporation in a multi-billion dollar transaction. Following the acquisition, Staywell's operations and members were integrated into Centene's Sunshine Health brand in 2021 to create a unified managed care entity. The organization was recognized for its focus on integrated care coordination and community-based health initiatives for vulnerable populations.
