Iowa Administrative Code (641 IAC 4) now allows birthing providers to document a parent's waiver for the neonatal metabolic screening in the infant's medical record without sending a waiver form to the Iowa Department of Public Health or the University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory.
Health care providers must provide documentation in the newborn's medical record regarding the parent's decision to waive the metabolic screening. The health care provider must then notify the University Hygienic Laboratory of the waiver; providing the mother's name, baby's date of birth, and baby's name and gender. Providers can call 515-725-1600 and leave a message, or may call the Iowa Department of Public Health toll-free at 1-800-383-3826.
Please contact Kimberly Noble Piper, State Genetics Coordinator, with any questions.
