Notes: 

Data as of August 2007. Some states were unable to generate data in time for publication; some cannot calculate the number of births paid for by Medicaid among women enrolled in managed health care plans.

Sources: 

Maternal and Child Health Update: States Increase Eligibility for Children's Health in 2007, National Governors Association, Appendix A. Available at http://www.nga.org/Files/pdf/0811MCHUPDATE.PDF.

Definitions: 

NA: Data are not available.

Footnotes: 
  1. The number of ALL live births (Medicaid and non-Medicaid) for Kansas in 2003 was 39,353.
  2. The figures for Minnesota are based on federal fiscal year 2003, and Medicaid births include those in the states 1115 Medicaid expansion program (MinnesotaCare).
  3. New Jersey figures include both Medicaid and Expansion population, but did not provide the percentage of total births for 2003.
  4. New Mexico completed the survey but did not include 2003 data for Medicaid births.
  5. Oregon birth counts are different than those reported in prior surveys. Previously, all data came from Vital Statistics. Not all Oregon Medicaid births, however, were appropriately identified in that data. Therefore, the Oregon Medicaid birth counts to determine the percentage comes from Medicaid claims data.
  6. Pennsylvania data based on calendar year 2003.
  7. Tennessee figures include both Medicaid and Expansion population.
  8. Virginia data is based on the state fiscal year.
