The link above is to the CMS page for Iowa state Medicaid. That page in turn has multiple links to Iowa Medicaid information including the Department of Health and Human Services. You might find some of the information you need there. I do believe Iowa uses Version 5.12, 34 grouper for their state Medicaid. The link below is to the pdf file containing the manual RUGS calculator for the 34 grouper. http://www.cms.hhs.gov/medicaid/mds20/mds34ws2.pdf Hope this helps!
