Iowa Medicaid is holding virtual town hall meetings this week with providers and members. These meetings are a chance for Iowa Medicaid staff to gather feedback on the current state of the program and how to improve, as well as answer questions.
The Town Hall meetings will be held on Thursday, September 23, 2021. The Provider Town Hall will be at 4:00 p.m., followed by the Member Town Hall meeting at 5:00 p.m.
Both town hall meetings will be held virtually on ZoomGov. Meeting login information is available on the DHS website. Guests who have pre-registered will receive an email with the meeting login information on Thursday morning.
Iowa Medicaid appreciates all of the feedback and questions received during the August town hall meetings. You can listen to audio recordings of the August provider and member town hall meetings on the DHS website.
Additionally, Iowa Medicaid staff have answered the questions asked during the August meetings. These also can be viewed on the DHS website.
