\n RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.<\/span>, Jan. 25, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Health Net Federal Services, LLC (HNFS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of\u00a0Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC),\u00a0announced today that it launched the Buckley Prime Service Area (PSA) Pilot in the Denver, Colorado<\/span> area surrounding Buckley Air Force Base (AFB) on January 1, 2021<\/span>. HNFS is currently the West Region Managed Care Support Contractor for TRICARE, the military health system program for uniformed service members, retirees, and their families\u00a0worldwide. <\/p>\n

HNFS’ Buckley PSA Pilot is expected to run through December 31, 2022<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“We are unwavering in our commitment and ability to impact beneficiary and provider satisfaction, and improve health care outcomes of the extraordinary population we have the honor and privilege to serve.
