CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Three men have pleaded guilty to using stolen identities and debit card numbers in a buying spree across Iowa.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 26-year-old Dunieski Santana Moreno and 21-year-old Liliany de Armas Mena pleaded guilty last week in Cedar Rapids’ federal court to aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit access device fraud. Thirty-six-year-old Pedro Alvarez Rodriguez pleaded guilty to the same charges on Sept. 21. All three are Cuban citizens, but had lived in the U.S.

Prosecutors say the men admitted stealing account information earlier this year from at least 35 accounts using “skimming” devices. The stolen information was then encoded onto counterfeit magnetic strip cards, which were used at stores across Iowa.

Each faces up to nearly 10 years in prison when they’re sentenced at a later date.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa agency is delaying plans to add a third company back into the state’s privatized Medicaid program. Iowa Department of Human Services Director Jerry Foxhoven says the agency will hire another company to offer Medicaid coverage in 2019. The agency originally said such a company would start next July.

Foxhoven says the agency will begin its search for a company soon, but the 2019 delay ensures adequate time. Foxhoven provided the information Tuesday to a health care council. It comes one week after AmeriHealth Caritas announced it will drop Medicaid coverage in Iowa at the end of the month after failed contract negotiations with the state. Two other private insurance companies, Amerigroup and UnitedHealthcare, will continue Medicaid coverage.

Foxhoven says UnitedHealthcare will take over coverage beginning Dec. 1 from AmeriHealth for about 215,000 patients. They also can transfer to Amerigroup.
