AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Provider Access: Cedar Valley Medical Specialists has ended operations, furloughing employees without pay or health coverage. Many clinics will continue under doctors who are running their practices independently, but patients may face disruption. Opioid Response: Iowa’s attorney general announced more than $750,000 in grants for opioid-response work at eight additional hospitals. Medicaid Oversight: A state task force recommends adding staff, strengthening provider checks and increasing penalties to combat fraud. Coverage and Care: More than 87,000 Iowans face Medicare Advantage plan cancellations, while federal officials announced a $500 million maternal-health investment during a Des Moines visit. Prevention: Van Buren County Hospital has added a breast cancer screening option for women with dense breast tissue.
