Choosing a Managed Care Organization

The Iowa Health Link managed care program gives you health coverage through a Managed Care Organization (MCO). An MCO is a health plan that makes sure you get the care you need from their network of providers. The MCOs have a large network of providers across the state.

MCO Member-Specific Contact Information

Please contact your MCO or dental carrier's Member Services department:

Learn more by going to the Iowa Health Link Member Resources.

See if your provider is your MCO's network.

Outside of the Member Choice Period, members who are currently enrolled with an MCO will be able to change their MCO during their next annual choice period or for reasons of "Good Cause." To verify your annual choice period, please call Iowa Medicaid Member Services.
