IACP: Iowa Association of Community Providers

02/05/2026

IACP members deliver essential supports in all 99 counties across Iowa. These services depend on Medicaid rates that keep pace with actual costs. When rates are not reviewed regularly, access to care and workforce stability are put at risk.

This brief video explains why consistent rate reviews matter—and why IACP supports House Study Bill 621. This legislation provides a practical, transparent approach to ensuring rates are reviewed in a timely and sustainable way.

Let your legislators know you support HSB 621 (link in comments).

Last month, IACP CEO Ben Shuberg was honored to join the panel From DC to Iowa: How Policy Shifts Will Impact the Disability Community, hosted by The Harkin Institute.

Ben shared Iowa’s provider perspective—highlighting how federal policy decisions shape access, funding, and the long-term stability of community-based services across our state.

This important conversation explored major issues on the horizon, including anticipated HCBS waiver reforms, workforce and reimbursement challenges, and the evolving federal landscape that will impact how Iowans with disabilities receive services.

IACP is grateful for opportunities like this to elevate the voices of Iowa’s providers and ensure our members stay ahead of the changes coming from Washington. Our commitment remains clear: strong advocacy, informed leadership, and a steadfast focus on ensuring every Iowan can live, work, and thrive in the community of their choice.

Last week our CEO, Ben Shuberg, and Executive Director of Abbe Center for Community Mental Health, Megan Vranish, traveled to Washington D.C. to take part in the National Council for Mental Wellbeing’s Policy Summit and Hill Day. They spent time hearing from experts about the current state of policies on mental health and behavioral health, as well as meeting with all six congressional offices on the hill. A special thank you to Senator Grassley for being present to meet with us. While the government may be shut down, they were still advocating for our mental health and behavioral health providers in Washington.
