State seeks refunds from Iowa pharmacies
The Iowa Department of Social Services has asked 77 pharmacies statewide to refund about 79,698 dollars for alleged overpayments on Medicaid prescriptions.

Audits will begin next week to resolve questions as DSS cites overpayments from July 1, 1980, to March 31, 1981, in cedar rapids iowa city and Des Moines area stores.

Appeals lets stand custody ruling to father in lesbian case
The Jones County custody dispute between Steven Eganhouse and his ex wife Claudia ends with the appeals court deadlocked 2 2 leaving a lower court decision in favor of the father. Judge Osmundson had changed the 1977 decree citing changes including alleged lesbian affairs and marijuana use but noted bias toward homosexuality and that parental ability is not defined by sexual orientation. The ruling preserves custody with the father of their daughter Ann 6, with no evidence showing the mother’s sexual activity affected the child and no additional appeal by Mrs. Eganhouse.
