According to results of a survey of state Medicaid, health and welfare agencies, these agencies spent $61 million in federal and state funds on the provision of the contraceptive implant to low-income women in FY 1992. Some $57 million of this was federal funds, with Medicaid accounting for 84% of all public funds spent on the implant; only nine states committed monies from their own coffers. The Medicaid agencies of 13 states reported restrictions on the number of subsidized implants a woman could receive over her reproductive lifetime. No Medicaid agency has provisions to cover required or requested removals of the device among users who become ineligible for Medicaid while the implant is in place; only eight health departments have policies ensuring subsidized removals for such women.
根据对州医疗补助、卫生和福利机构的一项调查结果，这些机构在1992财年花费了6100万美元的联邦和州资金，用于为低收入女性提供避孕植入物。其中约5700万美元是联邦资金，医疗补助占用于该植入物的所有公共资金的84%；只有九个州从自己的金库中拨款。13个州的医疗补助机构报告了对女性在其生育期内可获得的补贴植入物数量的限制。没有医疗补助机构有相关规定，为在植入物仍在位时不再符合医疗补助资格的使用者支付取出该装置的必要或要求费用；只有八个卫生部门有政策确保为这类女性提供补贴取出服务。
