What’s in it
This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to assign the entire long-term services and supports (LTSS) population for administration of the Iowa high quality health care initiative to a singular Medicaid managed care organization (MCO) that has an existing Medicaid managed care contract with the state and had a Medicaid managed care membership in December 2018 of between 185,000 and 220,000. DHS is required to provide written notice in accordance with the termination provisions of the contract, to the other MCOs with whom DHS has executed a contract, to terminate such contracts as applicable to the LTSS population.
Read the full explanation
The termination is effective upon the date of transition of all LTSS members to the singular MCO. DHS is also required to develop a plan for the transition of the LTSS population to the singular MCO, to submit the transition plan to the council on human services and to the medical assistance advisory council for review, and to seek any Medicaid state plan or waiver amendments necessary to complete the transition. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
