What’s in it
AI summary The Department of Human Services will end contracts with certain health care organizations that manage care for people needing long-term services and supports. Instead, these people will move to a different program where the state pays for services directly. The department will create a plan to manage this change and will update its official Medicaid rules to make it happen.1
Read the official explanation
This bill directs the department of human services (DHS) to provide written notice in accordance with the termination provisions of the contract to each managed care organization with whom DHS executed a contract to administer the Iowa high quality health care initiative as established by DHS, to terminate such contracts as applicable to the long-term services and supports population, following a 60-day transition period. DHS is directed to transfer the long-term services and supports population to fee-for-service program administration. The transition is to be based on a transition plan developed by the department and submitted to the council on human services and the medical assistance advisory council for review. The bill requires DHS to seek any Medicaid state plan or waiver amendments necessary to administer the bill. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
