What it does

This bill provides for the administration of Medicaid managed care for long-term services and supports (LTSS) population under a separate and distinct Medicaid managed care contract. The bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to issue a request for proposals to select a Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) to administer the Iowa high quality health care initiative as applicable to the entire LTSS population under a separate and distinct contract; to provide written notice to each Medicaid MCO with whom DHS has executed a contract to terminate such contracts as applicable to the Medicaid LTSS population, effective upon the date of execution of a separate and distinct managed care contract applicable to the LTSS population; develop a transition plan for the LTSS population and submit the transition plan to the council on human services and to the medical assistance advisory council for review; and seek any Medicaid state plan or waiver amendments necessary to complete the transition.
