What’s in it
This bill relates to state family planning services. Division I of the bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to submit a Medicaid state plan amendment to the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services of the United States department of health and human services (CMS) for approval to establish the Iowa family planning network with the same benefits, eligibility requirements, and other provisions included in the Medicaid Iowa family planning network waiver as approved by CMS in effect on June 30, 2017.
Read the full explanation
Subject to an appropriation by the general assembly, HHS is required to adopt rules to allocate moneys to increase awareness of the family planning network and the network’s services to locations identified as having increased rates of sexually transmitted infections. Division I takes effect upon enactment. Division II of the bill repeals the state family planning services program. The repeal of the program takes effect upon receipt of approval by HHS from CMS of the Medicaid state plan amendment establishing the Iowa family planning network. HHS shall notify the Code editor of the date approval is received from CMS.
