HF 2376: Relating to matters under the purview of the department of health and human services, including the Iowa return to community program and reimbursement rates, and making appropriations

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill appropriates $2 million for FY 2026-2027 from the general fund of the state to the department of health and human services (HHS) to expand the Iowa return to community program. The bill requires HHS to submit a report to the governor and general assembly regarding the outcomes of the additional investment. Under current practice, the general assembly adopts provisions relating to HHS reimbursement rates each year in the annual HHS appropriations legislation. The bill provides for such HHS reimbursement rates for FY 2026-2027 but specifies that reimbursement for adult day care services provided under a home and community-based services waiver shall be increased by percent.
