Mississippi Clarion-Ledger: Mississippi Settles With Centene Over Medicaid Drug Costs Mississippi will receive $55.5 million after Attorney General Lynn Fitch and Auditor Shad White on Monday reached an agreement with Centene, the country's largest Medicaid contractor, following a years-long investigation into whether the company overcharged Medicaid for prescription drugs. Between 2016 and 2020, the Mississippi Medicaid program paid Centene more than $1.1 billion for pharmacy services, according to a report from the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting. Centene reported $111.1 billion in revenue in 2020. The settlement is one of the largest ever in Mississippi, according to the State Auditor's Office. (Sanderlin, 6/14)
