Dental care. This service area represents the largest unmet healthcare need among the target population. There have historically been problems in providing dental care in Medicaid; therefore, SCHIP may fare better by starting over rather than utilizing existing Medicaid systems to meet the dental needs of participants.

Family planning. Title X has been a success. SCHIP programs will benefit by building on its success.

Mental health/substance abuse. This is an area in which there is also great unmet need. A separate system of community providers may best meet the needs of SCHIP participants in this service area.
