An effort was made to determine the amount of funds budgeted in each of the 50 U.S. states for total rehabilitation and dental rehabilitation of patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate. Questionnaires were sent following a pilot letter to the directors of each state Department of Health. Total funds per patient ranged from a high of $ 17,442 for Delaware to a low of $ 426 for Wisconsin. Dental funds per patient ranged from $ 4,214 dollars for Wyoming to a low of $ 192 for New York.
