EXPLANATION
14
This
bill
includes
provisions
that
relate
to
programs
and
15
services
under
the
purview
of
the
department
of
public
health
16
(DPH).
The
bill
is
organized
in
divisions.
17
Division
I
relates
to
organized
delivery
systems
that
are
18
regulated
by
DPH.
Organized
delivery
systems
were
created
19
pursuant
to
1993
Iowa
Acts,
chapter
158.
Rules
adopted
20
under
the
provision
define
an
organized
delivery
system
as
21
“an
organization
with
defined
governance
that
is
responsible
22
for
delivering
or
arranging
to
deliver
the
full
range
of
23
health
care
services
covered
under
a
standard
benefit
plan
24
and
is
accountable
to
the
public
for
the
cost,
quality
and
25
access
of
its
services
and
for
the
effect
of
its
services
26
on
their
health.”
(641
IAC
201.2)
An
organization
operating
27
as
an
organized
delivery
system
is
required
to
assume
risk
28
and
be
subject
to
solvency
standards.
The
bill
eliminates
29
all
references
to
organized
delivery
systems
in
the
Code
and
30
repeals
the
provision
in
the
Acts
authorizing
the
establishment
31
of
organized
delivery
systems.
The
most
recent
application
for
32
licensure
was
received
by
DPH
in
1998.
Since
being
authorized
33
in
1993,
only
two
entities
applied
for
licensure
as
organized
34
delivery
systems
and
both
of
these
entities
have
since
ceased

Division
II
relates
to
the
membership
of
the
system
2
evaluation
and
quality
improvement
committee
for
the
trauma
3
system
in
the
state.
The
bill
changes
the
membership
by
4
replacing
the
specific
name
of
the
one
membership
entity
5
with
a
general
reference
to
the
Medicare
quality
improvement
6
organization
in
the
state.
7
Division
III
relates
to
county
reimbursement
for
8
investigations
and
autopsies
that
are
for
persons
who
die
after
9
being
brought
into
the
state
for
emergency
medical
treatment
10
by
or
at
the
direction
of
an
out-of-state
law
enforcement
11
officer
or
public
authority;
or
for
autopsies
relating
to
the
12
death
of
a
child
under
the
age
of
two
years
if
death
results
13
from
an
unknown
cause
or
if
the
circumstances
surrounding
the
14
death
indicate
that
sudden
infant
death
syndrome
may
be
the
15
cause
of
death.
Current
law
directs
that
claims
for
these
16
investigations
and
autopsies
are
to
be
filed
by
counties
17
initially
with
DPH,
and,
if
moneys
are
not
appropriated
to
18
DPH
for
this
purpose,
the
claims
are
to
then
be
forwarded
to
19
the
state
appeal
board.
Under
the
bill,
claims
would
not
be
20
initially
filed
with
DPH,
but
would
instead
be
filed
directly
21
with
the
state
appeal
board
for
authorization
of
payment
22
from
the
general
fund
of
the
state
from
funds
not
otherwise
23
appropriated.
24
Division
IV
relates
to
human
immunodeficiency
virus
25
(HIV)
home
test
kits.
Current
law
prohibits
a
person
from
26
advertising
for
sale,
offering
for
sale,
or
selling
an
HIV
27
home
testing
kit
for
antibody
or
antigen
testing,
and
provides
28
civil
and
criminal
penalties
as
well
as
injunctive
relief
for
29
violation
of
the
prohibition.
The
United
States
food
and
drug
30
administration
approved
the
use
of
such
kits
in
July
2012,
and
31
the
bill
repeals
the
Code
provision
prohibiting
the
HIV
home
32
test
kits
in
the
state.
33
Division
V
of
the
bill
provides
that
a
minor
shall
have

capacity
