HRSA COVID-19 claims reimbursement — CFDA 93.461 obligations

What $167.51 billion on 2 awards means

Assistance listing 93.461 is titled HRSA COVID-19 CLAIMS REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE UNINSURED PROGRAM AND THE COVID-19 COVERAGE ASSISTANCE FUND in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $167,513,600,267.54. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $167,513,600,267.54 as cash already paid on uninsured claims mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

2 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $167,513,600,267.54 by 2 produces a mean near $83.76 billion per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical provider claim and not a per-patient reimbursement. A listing can carry a very large sum on a handful of assistance actions; 93.461 is that pattern in this extract.

The 1 recipient in the extract is the organizational recipient stored on those two award rows, not a count of uninsured patients. The state count is 0: this roll-up does not attach place-of-performance states to the $167,513,600,267.54 total.

One recipient, two awards, no state split

CFDA 93.461 lists 1 recipient, 2 awards, and 0 states. Recipient count is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. It is not unique clinicians and not unique patients. Award count is a record tally. State count of 0 means this packet’s geography field is empty for the listing, not that the underlying activity occurred nowhere.

Because dollars are concentrated, moving either of the 2 awards would move a large share of $167,513,600,267.54. The hub does not invent a state table where the extract stores 0 states. Cite the empty geography explicitly when the HRSA COVID-claims figure is reused so readers do not expect a 50-state map.

Obligations versus claims paid

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $167,513,600,267.54 figure for CFDA 93.461 can include commitments that will disburse later, and it can omit cash paid on actions this extract does not carry. HRSA claims-reimbursement operational reports and a single fiscal year’s public-health appropriation are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing—especially a state breakout—the cause here is the 0-state count in the packet, not a missing paragraph. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 93.461 program page. Do not stretch 2 awards or 1 recipient into a patient census.

What the 93.461 tables omit

The HRSA COVID-19 claims reimbursement hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a claim-level file, not an uninsured-patient roster, and not a provider directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $167,513,600,267.54. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2 award rows.

With 0 states in the extract, there is no place-of-performance map to read. Rankings that need geography should look at other listings; this page will not invent cells. The 1-recipient structure is the concentration fact, not a quality score.

How to cite CFDA 93.461

A complete citation is $167,513,600,267.54 in obligations for CFDA 93.461, covering 2 awards and 1 recipient, with 0 states in the extract, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is concentration rather than dollars, lead with 2 awards and 1 recipient, then the dollar total.

Start with the HRSA COVID-19 claims reimbursement program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is a billing instruction.

A worked reading of the 93.461 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $167,513,600,267.54, 2 awards, 1 recipient, and 0 states under CFDA 93.461. The mean near $83.76 billion is a quotient from two records, not a typical provider claim. If a later USAspending.gov file adds even one more large action, both the dollar book and the 2-award count move sharply. If the extract begins storing place-of-performance, the 0-state count can change without a change in the obligation definition.

Nothing in the extract splits uninsured-program claims from the COVID-19 Coverage Assistance Fund. Those cuts live in HRSA publications. Treat CFDA 93.461 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the HRSA COVID-19 claims reimbursement program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 2 awards, 1 recipient, and 0 states next to $167,513,600,267.54 so concentration is the story.

Questions

How much is obligated under HRSA COVID-19 claims reimbursement?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $167,513,600,267.54 in obligations for CFDA 93.461. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of uninsured claims. The same extract lists 2 awards, 1 recipient, and 0 states.

Why does CFDA 93.461 have only 2 awards?

The indexed award count is 2. This listing’s dollars sit on a very small number of assistance actions, which is why $167,513,600,267.54 can coexist with 2 records and 1 organizational recipient. The 2-award figure is a file statistic, not a count of providers or patients.

Why does CFDA 93.461 show 0 states?

The extract’s state count for this listing is 0. That is a geography field in the USAspending.gov assistance roll-up, not a claim that the activity occurred nowhere. The $167,513,600,267.54 total still sits on 2 awards and 1 recipient. This page does not invent a state table.

Are these HRSA COVID figures outlays or obligations?

They are obligations. An obligation is a legal commitment on an award. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. CFDA 93.461’s $167,513,600,267.54 headline is built from USAspending.gov assistance obligation amounts covering 2 awards, not from a cash-outlay series. Cite CFDA 93.461 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.
