The state and St. Louis-based Centene Corp. have settled their lawsuits and other disputes stemming from the 2013 departure of Centene's Kentucky Spirit Health Plan from the state Medicaid managed-care program.
Centene said in a press release, "Kentucky Spirit will receive an immaterial cash payment from the Commonwealth's actuarial firm and each party will dismiss all claims related to the litigation with prejudice," meaning that it cannot be refiled. The amount of the payment was not disclosed. "In addition, the parties agree that neither party acted in bad faith, that they took reasonable positions in light of the applicable contractual language and that the parties acted in good faith in attempting to address a difficult situation."
The release thanked Gov. Matt Bevin "for taking the initiative to resolve this longstanding issue."
