A bill for an act relating to matters under the purview of the department of health and human services, including the Iowa return to community program and reimbursement rates, and making appropriations.

HF 2376 appropriates $2 million from the general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 to expand Iowa's Return to Community program, which helps individuals transition from institutional care to community living. It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to report on the program's outcomes by December 31, 2027. The bill also increases reimbursement rates by 5% for adult day care services under home and community-based services waivers, while maintaining other existing reimbursement rates for medical assistance and social services. This directly affects providers of community-based care and participants in the Return to Community program.
