History

The company began as the psychiatric hospital chain Charter Medical, headquartered in Macon, Georgia. In 1992, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, stemming from debt incurred as a result of the 1988 management-led takeover.[5]

After recovering from bankruptcy, it moved its headquarters to Atlanta in 1994.[6] Acquiring a major stake in Green Spring Health Services Inc., a managed care company based in Columbia, Maryland, the company re-structured into a new holding company, changing its name to Magellan Health Services.[7] In 1999 the company moved to Green Spring's old headquarters in Columbia, Maryland.[8] In 2004, the company headquarters moved to Connecticut. In 2014, the company moved its headquarters from Connecticut to Arizona.[9]

On January 4, 2021, it was announced Centene Corporation would acquire the company for $2.2 billion.[10] On January 4, 2022, the acquisition was completed.[11]
