Rule 441-87.7 - Funding of family planning services program

(1)Distribution of funds. Distribution of family planning services program funds shall be made to eligible, approved, and participating family planning providers subject to rule 441-87.11 (217). Eligible family planning providers shall not include any provider that performs abortions or that maintains or operates a facility where abortions are performed and must attest to this fact. Effective July 1, 2018, eligible family planning providers shall be interpreted to include a distinct location of a nonprofit health care delivery system, if the distinct location provides family planning services but does not perform abortions or maintain or operate as a facility where abortions are performed. For the purposes of this subrule, "nonprofit health care delivery system" means an Iowa nonprofit corporation that controls, directly or indirectly, a regional health care network consisting of hospital facilities and various ambulatory and clinic locations that provide a range of primary, secondary, and tertiary inpatient, outpatient, and physician services. For the purposes of this subrule, "abortion" does not include any of the following:

a. The treatment of a woman for a physical disorder, physical injury, or physical illness, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself, that would, as certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death.

b. The treatment of a woman for a spontaneous abortion, commonly known as a miscarriage, when not all of the products of human conception are expelled.

(2)Recovery. The department shall recover from a member all funds incorrectly expended to or on behalf of the member for family planning program services.
