Abstract
<p>The findings in this report represent survey responses about the health care experiences of Iowa Wellness Plan (IWP) members two years post implementation. Since the last survey report, two events occurred that impacted the structure and administration of the IWP and subsequently could have had an effect on IWP members’ experiences: <ul> <li>The Marketplace Choice Plan (MPC) was no longer an option for the Medicaid expansion population because both of the qualified health plan choices within the MPC dropped out of the Health Insurance Marketplace. Thus, the two original Medicaid expansion populations – adults from 0-100% FPL in the Wellness Plan (the plan administered by the state Medicaid program) and adults from 101 – 133% FPL in the Marketplace Choice plan merged into one, the Iowa Wellness Plan (IWP). </li> <li>Almost all Medicaid members (including IWP members) were transitioned to a private Medicaid Managed Care Organization (MCO) which managed and administered their health care coverage. </li> </ul></p>
