Abstract

The Iowa General Assembly directed the Department of Human Services directs the Transition Committee to develop a plan for the transitioning of the administration of PMIC services from a fee for service program administered by the Iowa Medicaid Enterprise (IME) to the Iowa Plan, through which the IME provides managed behavioral health care to its Medicaid enrollees. The work of this Transition Committee is happening at the same time that DHS has convened a two-year effort to overhaul its mental health system for children. Section 525 required specific representation on the Transition Committee.2 The Administration filed a preliminary report with the Interim Legislative Committee on October 31, 2011 as part of its larger report detailing the activities and progress of the Mental Health System Redesign.
