Bill Summary
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. The section of division I of the bill requiring submission of the state plan amendment 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.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to submit a Medicaid state plan amendment to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to establish the Iowa Family Planning Network. The proposed network would mirror the benefits, eligibility requirements, and provisions of a previous Medicaid family planning network waiver that was in effect on June 30, 2017. The bill is structured in two divisions: the first division mandates the submission of the state plan amendment and takes effect immediately upon enactment, while the second division repeals the existing state family planning services program (specifically Section 217.41B of the Iowa Code). The repeal of the existing program will only take effect once CMS approves the new Medicaid state plan amendment for the Iowa Family Planning Network. This approach suggests the state is seeking to transition from an existing family planning services program to a new Medicaid-based network with similar parameters.
