Work Process Flow Charts for Various Medicaid Programs
Iowa Medicaid provides health coverage to more than 700,000 Iowans through a variety of different programs. These programs have processes in place to make sure members get the care they need. Some processes are complex, but important to understand. The Iowa Medicaid Enterprise (IME) has developed visual aids to help members, providers and stakeholders better understand the various processes in place at the IME. 
Translation and Interpretation Services
Medicaid is federally obligated to provide translation services. Translation services are available to IA Health Link members—through their Managed Care Organization (MCO)—and are also available for Iowa Medicaid Fee-for-Service (FFS) members.
