What’s in it
AI summary Companies that manage Iowa's Medicaid and Hawk-i programs will no longer have to follow most of the state's standard insurance laws. These companies must still follow specific rules regarding their licenses and how much money they keep on hand to stay stable. This change ensures they are treated differently than regular insurance companies while still meeting basic safety requirements.1
