Iowa SSB3083 modifies rules for subacute mental health care facilities and services.

Iowa SSB3083 addresses subacute mental health care facilities and services. It eliminates the 10-day limit on subacute mental health care unless extended by the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill mandates that a subacute care facility must develop a written treatment care plan with a resident within 24 hours of admission. It requires managed care organizations to provide a determination for insurance coverage requests within 48 hours for urgent requests, five days for nonurgent requests, and ten days for nonurgent requests with complex or unique circumstances.
