This report provides health care utilization outcomes for the Iowa Wellness Plan (IWP), Iowa’s version of the Medicaid expansion, from CY 2013 through CY 2018. IWP expanded health care coverage to Iowans who, with incomes from 0-138% of the Federal Poverty Level, were not categorically eligible for Medicaid. This report found that trends in quality measures indicate that this coverage improved access to primary care and screening during the first five years of the program.
