To adjust the method used for determining the cost-effectiveness of health insurance plans when determining if the State will pay premiums for private insurance under the Health Insurance Premium Payment (HIPP) under Section 1906 of the Act. Previously Iowa had allowed deemed cost effectiveness under certain criteria. This SPA eliminates the deemed cost effectiveness criteria so that the cost effectiveness of each plan must be considered individually against the cost effectiveness formula. This criterion had originally been added to the State Plan with TN #96-07.
