Charting CHIP IV: A Report on State Children’s Health Insurance Programs Prior to Major Federal Policy Changes in 2009 and 2010 is the fourth in a series published by the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) since 1998. The report paints a portrait of state Children’s Health Insurance Programs (CHIP) as they stood in mid 2008, roughly a decade after the federal CHIP program was enacted, a half year before CHIP was reauthorized, and just short of two years before national health reform legislation was enacted. This report examines state program characteristics and policies for both Medicaid expansion (M-CHIP) and separate (S-CHIP) programs in a range of areas, from program structure, to eligibility, outreach and enrollment, to benefits and cost sharing, to service delivery, access and quality.
