Approval Date: 17
In the action plans of the Title V agencies in Iowa, the Title V agencies have included outreach to hawk-i and Medicaid to children who may be eligible. The agencies will identify these children, notify the families of the program and advise them where and how to enroll and how to maintain the enrollment.
The Iowa Department of Human Services will be entering into a contract with the Iowa Department of Public Health to conduct grassroots outreach for the hawk-i and Medicaid programs. The Iowa Department of Public Health who oversees the Title V agencies, will ask the Title V agencies to either conduct the grassroots outreach activities or to subcontract with an agency or organization to do outreach. The Title V agencies will be responsible for doing a gap analysis to see what community agencies are currently doing for outreach as well as determine what is missing. The action plans must include the results of the gap analysis and what steps the agency will take to involve the community in conducting outreach.
