“These changes would greatly reduce the quality-of-care children receive and would have devastating long-term effects on families like mine,’’ Jacobs said. “As a parent, I’m terrified of what will happen to other families if Iowa HHS moves forward with these drastic cuts. A shortened session, at roughly 15-minutes, is not enough time to build trust, to regulate, to teach, to model, to practice, or to meaningfully support a child with complex needs. The proposed decision will not save money in the long run; it will cost families, communities, and future generations the opportunity to reach their full potential.’’

‼️URGENT! CALL TO ACTION!‼️

ProActive spent the day at the State Capitol advocating for speech therapy services in the state of Iowa & now we need YOUR help!

Reimbursement directly impacts access to care that is critical for infants and children on Medicaid.
Please call Governor Reynold's office to let them know how concerning this is!

We have included a possible scripted message for you to leave for Governor Reynold's office along with the phone number!

Thank you Sarah Trone Garriott for advocating for Iowa's most vulnerable.

Sample verbiage when calling

Hello Governor Reynolds,
My name is [Your Name], and I’m calling to respectfully urge you to pause Informational Letter 2714-MC.

This change will sharply reduce medically necessary therapy for children and rural Medicaid members—directly undermining efforts to strengthen rural access. These cuts will harm vulnerable families, limit essential care, and ultimately increase long-term Medicaid costs as unmet needs worsen.

It will also destabilize providers, especially in rural communities, putting some at risk of closure and further reducing access across Iowa.

Please pause 2714-MC to allow time for proper review, stakeholder input, and solutions that protect children, families, and rural healthcare access.

I’m concerned that this will limit the amount of therapy my child will receive, further widening the developmental gap between them and their peers.

Thank you for your leadership and for considering this urgent request.
My callback number is [Your Phone Number].
