Charting CHIP IV: A Report on State Children’s Health Insurance Programs
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.

Medicaid Coverage of Adult Dental Services
This State Health Policy Monitor presents the results of a 2008 survey of state Medicaid programs, which provides an update on the status of states' Medicaid coverage of adult dental services. As of early 2008, 45 states, including the District of Columbia, provided some type of coverage of dental benefits to at least some Medicaid-enrolled adults. However, this coverage varied by state. This Monitor describes state variation in the types of dental services and degree of coverage offered under Medicaid, as well as differences in total amount, duration, and scope of coverage. This study shows an increase in 2008 in the number of states that offered dental coverage (in all categories, with no annual maximum) to adults; it demonstrates how states showed perseverance in continuing coverage for their Medicaid adult population despite a difficult fiscal climate.October 2008» -

Medicaid Managed Care: Looking Forward, Looking Back
This paper tracks changes and trends in Medicaid managed care between 1990 and 2002. The report is based on six NASHP surveys of state Medicaid managed care programs (conducted in 1990, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002). The surveys gathered information on the scope and operation of both risk and primary care case management (PCCM) programs.
