FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambetter from Sunshine Health, a product offered by wholly owned subsidiaries of Centene Corporation (NYSE: CNC) which provide insurance to under-insured and uninsured populations through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace, and Broward Health, one of the 10 largest public health systems in the nation, announced today an agreement to increase access to quality healthcare in Broward County.

Broward Health is an in-network provider for Ambetter for 2024. Floridians can purchase health insurance coverage for 2024 through the Health Insurance Marketplace Open Enrollment Period, which runs through Jan. 15, 2024.

"We recognize the critical role Broward Health has in improving the health and wellness of residents in Broward County. This partnership will provide increased access to the essential care and health benefits for our members."

Ambetter has served Broward County since the inception of the Health Insurance Marketplace in 2014. The partnership between Broward Health and Ambetter will provide better access to care for Ambetter members in the area, including preventive and wellness services, maternity and newborn care, and pediatric services as well as unexpected emergency and non-emergency health issues.
