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 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 Scottsdale, Arizona.[9]
On 4 January 2021, it was announced Centene Corporation will acquire the company for $2.2 billion.[10]
