Iowa Medicaid Continuous Coverage Unwind

Medicaid’s continuous coverage came to an end on April 1, 2023. This means that most Medicaid members will undergo a redetermination process during the 12-month period to determine if they are still eligible for any Medicaid programs. This process is also referred to as “Unwinding.” Because of this, it is critical that Iowa Medicaid members have up-to-date contact information, watch for mail from Iowa Medicaid, and respond to requests for information.

If members do not respond to renewal letters or requests for information, they may lose coverage. This is why it's important that clients verify their contact information is up to date, as this is how the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services will contact individuals who are impacted by this change.

No Surprises Act- Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate and Balance Billing Protections

The No Surprises Act protects patients from large and unexpected surprise bills.

Patients that are self pay have a right to receive a good faith estimate for the cost of care that we can reasonably expect at the time a service is scheduled*. (*for services scheduled greater than 3 business days in advance.)

For those seeking care at an out-of-network facility or from an out-of-network provider for emergencies and certain non-emergency services provided in in-network health care facilities the No Surprise Act offers protections against balance billing.
