State legislators will meet this Tuesday afternoon to discuss Iowa's transition to Medicaid managed care during the second and final oversight meeting of the year.
The state handed over its $5 billion Medicaid program with more than 600,000 enrollees to three private insurers on April 1. Since then, providers have run into billing issues, citing late or inaccurate payments while critics the insurance companies have reported millions of dollars in losses.
The Health Policy Oversight Committee will review the second-quarter report put out by Department of Human Services in late November. Legislators also will talk with representatives from the managed-care organizations, the state of Iowa and the managed-care ombudsman program.
Gazette Reporter Chelsea Keenan is in attendance.
