Oct 25 (Reuters) - Centene ( CNC ) beat Wall Street
estimates for third-quarter profit on Friday, as strength in its
commercial insurance business outweighed the impact of high
costs related to its government-backed Medicaid plans for
low-income people.
On an adjusted basis, the health insurer earned $1.62 per
share, compared with analysts' average estimate of $1.33 per
share, according to data compiled by LSEG.
