For benefit or service-related issues, please contact your MCO to learn about your appeal rights with them. If an Iowa Medicaid member is dissatisfied with the MCO’s decision, the member can access the State Fair Hearing appeal process through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

For more information on appeals see page 20 of the Iowa Health Link Member Handbook (Espanol).
