Iowa Medicaid officials to seek another Medicaid managed care organization

Iowa Medicaid officials said the state plans to start taking applications for a third managed care organization later this year. Iowa has had just two managed care organizations for its Medicaid program since United Healthcare left the state in June 2019. Amerigroup and Iowa Total Care, which joined the state on July 1, 2019, the day after United Healthcare officially pulled out, are the state's two current MCOs.
