CHICAGO, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- U.S. District Court Judge Nancy L. Maldonado ruled that Plaintiffs in Havrilla v. Centene Corp. (N.D. Ill.) could proceed on the majority of their claims against Centene Corporation and two of its subsidiaries, Centene Management Company, LLC, and Celtic Insurance Company.

  • Defendants had moved to dismiss the complaint on grounds of lack of subject-matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim.
  • "No company should be allowed to abuse the healthcare system and take advantage of consumers in the way that we believe Centene has.
