History

[edit | edit source]

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 1997, Magellan entered the behavioral health managed care business by acquiring Human Affairs International and Merit Behavioral Care.[8] In 1999 the company moved to Green Spring's old headquarters in Columbia, Maryland.[9] In 2004, the company headquarters moved to Connecticut. In 2014, the company moved its headquarters from Connecticut to Arizona.[10]

Magellan sold its managed care division to Molina Healthcare in 2018.[11] On January 4, 2021, it was announced Centene Corporation would acquire the company for $2.2 billion.[12] On January 4, 2022, the acquisition was completed.[13]

Centene divested Magellan Rx in 2022 to Prime Therapeutics.[14] Centene announced the sale of Magellan Specialty Health to Evolvent Health in 2022.[15]
