Where can I get medical care?
The IowaCare provider you go to is based on where you live. You will be assigned to the IowaCare provider in your region. This provider is your 'medical home.' If you need specialty care, you may be referred to Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines or the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Where you are referred depends on the type of specialty care you need and the region of the state in which you live. (Iowa Care Medical Home Expansion Map - January 2013)
