What’s in it

This bill provides that Medicaid coverage of an inmate of a public institution shall be suspended, but not terminated, after the first days of commitment, and that the suspension shall continue during the entire period of the inmate’s commitment to the public institution. Prior to changes enacted in 2018 Iowa Acts, chapter 1165, section 127, the law allowed the suspension to continue only for up to the initial months of an inmate’s period of commitment at which time the inmate’s Medicaid coverage would be terminated.
