HF 754 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to health care including a funding model for the rural health care system; the elimination of several health care-related award, grant, residency, and fellowship programs; establishment of a health care professional incentive program; Medicaid graduate medical education; the health facilities council; and the Iowa health information network, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions.

HF 754 replaces several existing Iowa healthcare funding programs with a new "health care professional incentive program" to support medical workers in rural areas. It ends specific initiatives like the rural primary care loan repayment program and mental health professional loan repayment program, redirecting their remaining funds to the new incentive program. The bill also establishes a "hub-and-spoke" funding model for rural healthcare collaboration, requiring state approval from federal authorities. The bill was recommended for passage but was withdrawn on March 31, 2025, and is no longer active.
