What’s in it
AI summary People on Medicaid who use complex rehabilitation equipment, like specialized wheelchairs, would no longer need a new prescription or special permission to get repairs. If the equipment was already approved and paid for by Medicaid, doctors or repair shops can fix it without asking for new authorization. This change applies to both types of Medicaid plans in Iowa.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that under both Medicaid managed care and fee-for-service administration of the Medicaid program, the department of health and human services shall not require provision of a prescription or prior authorization for reimbursement of a provider for the repair of complex rehabilitation equipment, if the complex rehabilitation technology was previously prescribed and reimbursed under the Medicaid program. The bill defines “complex rehabilitation technology” for the purposes of the bill.
