    Governor Lt. Governor Director

    May 17, 2018

    The Honorable Pam Jochum


    State Senator
    2368 Jackson Street
    Dubuque, IA 52001
    via email

    Dear Senator Jochum:

    This letter is in response to your recent request for information on managed care.
    Specifically, you want to see the current calculations on how much managed care has
    saved since the implementation.

    The projected annual range of managed care cost avoidance is found in the table
    below.

    Total Savings (in Millions) State Share Savings (in Millions)


    $411.4 $140.9

    I believe Iowa is experiencing similar success as any other state that has implemented
    managed care to the degree in which Iowa has done.

    Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information.

    Sincerely,

    Merea D. Bentrott
    Policy Advisor
