About the position

As a division of the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Iowa Medicaid insures more than 700,000 Iowans, operating with a budget of nearly $7 billion. Reporting directly to the Department's Director, who serves on Governor Reynolds' Cabinet, Iowa's State Medicaid Director is a key member of the Iowa HHS Executive Team, responsible for the direct oversight of all managed care operations, program policy, major IT system enhancements, and data governance. As a member of the executive team, the Medicaid Director establishes and builds connection points to other core program functions within Iowa HHS, including child welfare, public health, community behavioral health, and integrated eligibility. In year two of a significant agency consolidation, Iowa HHS is a lifespan services agency and the State's largest in both budget and number of employees. This new system design positions Medicaid in a cornerstone role beyond its foundational capacity as a major insurer in the state, to drive key population health outcomes and significant impacts to rural healthcare access, maternal health, and behavioral health system design. Iowa Medicaid is leading significant transformational efforts, including the launch of a redesigned home and community-based services waiver structure, and a co-designed model to launch CCBHCs. As with any leadership role, Iowa HHS seeks a self-driven, tenured executive who thrives while contributing to a fast paced and high-functioning team. Iowa's Medicaid Director must have demonstrated experience in healthcare, Medicaid program operations, and operational planning, as well as a deep understanding of cost and caseload trends.
