This bill establishes requirements for the provision of durable medical equipment to Medicaid recipients with a permanent disability in Iowa. It mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services contractually obligate Medicaid managed care organizations to continue approving coverage for durable medical equipment previously authorized for recipients who have a qualifying disability, as determined by the federal Social Security Administration, or those assessed by the department to have a physical or mental impairment lasting at least twelve months or resulting in death. The coverage must continue as long as there has been no significant change in the recipient's condition.

The bill aims to ensure that individuals with permanent disabilities maintain access to necessary medical equipment without interruption, thereby supporting their health and well-being. By reinforcing the continuity of care for these recipients, the legislation seeks to address potential gaps in coverage that could arise due to changes in their health status.
