Informational Letters


Iowa Medicaid sends out letters called Informational Letters, or ILs. These letters help explain new and old rules about healthcare. Starting from August 15, 2016, all ILs have a special code after the number to show which healthcare program they talk about.

The codes are:

  • MC for Managed Care
  • FFS for Fee-for-Service
  • D for Dental
  • CVD for Coronavirus Disease.
Below, you can see the ten latest Informational Letters. If you want to find other letters, you can use the search box. You can also do a more advanced search by clicking "Search Provider & Program Key Words/Year." If you want to see letters about COVID-19, choose "COVID-19" under "Provider Topics."
