This paper evaluates efforts in Kentucky and Idaho to increase preventive care through Medicaid and CHIP. The authors examined Medicaid and CHIP enrollment and claims from before and after the increases in well-child visit reimbursements.  They found that increasing reimbursements for well-child visits and preventive dental care increased the number of children who received preventive care in Kentucky and Idaho.
