Died when the session ended The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died. What’s a funnel?

What’s in it

AI summary People on Medicaid who use complex rehabilitation equipment, like specialized wheelchairs, will find it easier to get repairs. If a doctor has already prescribed and Medicaid has already paid for the equipment, the state cannot require a new prescription or special permission just to fix it. This change applies to both types of Medicaid programs 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.
