Most general practitioner (GP) practices are private partnerships that hold contracts with NHS England and NHS Improvement to provide primary medical services. Centene Corporation does not own any GP surgeries in England. It is the owner of Operose Health Ltd.’s holding companies. The current total estimated number of GP practice contracts held by Operose Health is 58.
