If you are a provider who has been displaced due to flooding and are unable to provide services from the location at which you are currently enrolled with Iowa Medicaid, there is no need to enroll a temporary location. Instead, you may continue to utilize your enrollment information, including location address, that is currently on file with Iowa Medicaid. If services are being rendered at a temporary location due to flooding, please indicate this on your patients’ charts. Please refer to the Informational Letter No. 2615-MC-FFS-D from HHS for more.
