† Title X funds administered by Wisconsin are subject to restrictions on and abortion providers and affiliates. These restrictions do not apply to Title X funds administered by independent agencies. Arizona has a similar law that requires the state to apply for Title X funds and if granted, excludes private reproductive health–focused providers from receiving the funds. Wisconsin also limits Medicaid reimbursement for prescription drugs to the acquisition cost and limits the dispensing fee, which reduces the amount providers can receive for services.

‡ Private reproductive health–focused providers are excluded through a priority system.

Ψ In Ohio, a law prohibits the allocation of family planning funds to organizations that provide abortions, counseling or referrals, unless those activities are physically and financially separate from family planning services.
