HF 506: Relating to Medicaid managed care for the long-term services and supports population, and including effective date provisions

What it does

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.
