AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Medicaid & PBM Scrutiny: Iowa’s State Auditor Rob Sand says pharmacy benefit managers may have overcharged Iowa Medicaid by more than $100 million from 2019–2021, pointing to year-end “clawback” practices that can mask spread pricing and squeeze rural pharmacies. Local Health Infrastructure: A judge ordered Marshalltown to take ownership of the long-abandoned UnityPoint hospital, citing unsafe disrepair and calling it a haven for criminal activity—setting up city plans to address the property. Pregnancy Movement Research: A University of Iowa-led study links less sitting and more light activity plus adequate sleep with a lower risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Cancer Access in Rural Iowa: Poweshiek County Public Health is joining a statewide Rural Health Transformation Program initiative to expand cancer prevention, screening, early detection, and radon testing/mitigation, including telehealth and financial help. Community Cancer Support: Cancer Support Community/Gilda’s Club Davenport is hosting Legacy Stone Painting for people impacted by cancer, offering a supportive space for remembrance. Emergency Preparedness Drill: MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center will run an emergency drill June 16 at the Mason City Airport and inside the hospital. Tick Season Reminder (Regional): Wisconsin health officials are urging tick precautions as nymphal deer ticks drive peak activity.
