(Des Moines, IA) — State officials have chosen a California-based company to join two other private firms that manage Iowa Medicaid — the joint state-and-federal program that provides health care services to 800-thousand disabled and low-income Iowans.
State Medicaid director Elizabeth Matney says Molina Healthcare’s contract will start July First. The state is also extending its current Medicaid contract with Ameri-Group, and Iowa Total-Care’s contract runs through 2025.
Matney says the goal is to divide Iowa’s Medicaid members evenly among the three managed care companies.
