Authors: Evelyne P. Baumrucker, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: As of October 2007, 17 states offered pregnancy-related services using SCHIP funds. Of those, 6 states used the §1115 waiver authority and 12 states extended coverage through unborn child SPAs (Rhode Island extends coverage to pregnant women through both authorities). This report summarizes the variation in pregnancy coverage and the financing streams associated with such coverage among these states.
