Centene CFO Drew Asher to Retire, Succeeded by Lincoln Financial's Chris Neczypor
Centene Corporation announced that Chief Financial Officer Drew Asher will step down from his role effective January 1, 2027, with plans to retire at the end of 2027. Chris Neczypor, currently CFO at Lincoln Financial, will assume the CFO position on January 1. The leadership transition comes as Centene continues to operate one of the nation's largest Medicaid managed care portfolios. The timing allows for an orderly transition during a period when many state Medicaid agencies are finalizing 2027 contract terms and rate setting.
CFO changes at the nation's largest Medicaid managed care organization can signal strategic shifts in contract bidding, rate negotiation posture, or MLR management approaches that directly affect state Medicaid agencies and provider networks.
