Iowa HF13 mandates annual automatic increases in Medicaid provider reimbursement rates based on inflation or a fixed percentage.

Iowa HF13 establishes an annual automatic increase in Medicaid provider reimbursement rates. The Department of Health and Human Services must raise rates on July 1 each year, using either the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers for the Midwest region or a fixed 2.5 percent increase, whichever is less. This change applies to all providers enrolled in the Medicaid program, ensuring their reimbursement rates keep pace with inflation or a set percentage, whichever results in a smaller increase.
