Iowa Medicaid COVID-19 Unwind
Information and resources for providers and patients
There are two parts of the Iowa Medicaid COVID-19 Unwind process: the continuous coverage “unwind,” which began in February 2023; and the public health emergency (PHE) unwind, which will end on May 11, 2023.
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, Iowa Medicaid was required to keep continuous healthcare coverage for all members and expand Medicaid benefits to support the Medicaid population during the emergency. All Medicaid members are required to reapply during the unwind period to continue their Medicaid coverage.
