Craig Kennedy, president and CEO of MHPA, writes: "A recent editorial titled 'Goodbye, Mike Randol. Hello, opportunity to return Iowa's Medicaid program to state control' misrepresented many elements of the Medicaid managed care model.
In 2016, Iowa moved away from a state-run, fee-for-service system to a coordinated and comprehensive Medicaid managed care model. Under this model, states provide Medicaid health benefits by contracting with managed care organizations, or MCOs, to deliver high-quality care to Medicaid enrollees."
