Common questions

Is this the rate a Medicaid managed care plan pays? +

No. These are fee-for-service (FFS) benchmark rates published directly by Iowa's Medicaid agency. Managed care organizations (MCOs) negotiate their own contract rates separately, and those aren't published publicly — FFS rates are commonly used as a reference point, not a guarantee of what an MCO will pay.

How often does Iowa update this fee schedule? +

It varies by state and code — some update annually, others quarterly or on an as-needed basis. MedicaidBench checks official sources continuously and logs the effective date and source document for every rate change.

Can I see rates for more codes or track changes over time? +
