Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage — CFDA 93.770 obligations

What CFDA 93.770’s $364.14 billion records

Assistance listing 93.770 is titled MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $364,143,471,494.28. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $364,143,471,494.28 as pharmacy cash already paid mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

4,625 awards sit under that dollar figure. Dividing $364,143,471,494.28 by 4,625 produces a mean near $78.7 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical prescription, not a plan premium, and not a rebate. The hub does not publish a median; only the sum and the 4,625 count are in this packet.

4,625 awards, 47 states, empty recipient field

The extract lists 4,625 awards, 47 states, and 0 recipients for CFDA 93.770. Award count is how many assistance-award rows carry this listing. State count is place-of-performance coding. Recipient count is how many organizational recipients the index stores. A recipient count of 0 is a file statistic. It is not a claim that no plan or pharmacy was paid, and it is not a beneficiary census.

Because the recipient field is empty in this roll-up, readers should not infer a Part D sponsor list from the $364,143,471,494.28 total. The 4,625-award tally still describes volume in the assistance files. Cite awards, states, and dollars together when the prescription-drug figure is reused.

Geography on 47 states

USAspending.gov coding for CFDA 93.770 reaches 47 states in this extract. That span is a count of coded jurisdictions, not a statement about plan availability in every county, and not a forecast. The $364,143,471,494.28 obligation total is the dollar book behind that map. Later assistance files can change both dollars and the 47-state count.

A national action coded to one jurisdiction can dominate a cell while prescriptions are filled elsewhere. Read the 93.770 program hub first, then any geography table.

Obligations versus Part D outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $364,143,471,494.28 figure for CFDA 93.770 can include commitments that will disburse later. CMS Part D expenditure tables and a single fiscal year’s Medicare appropriation are different publications. This page does not convert the obligation total into those series.

Keep the 4,625-award count and the 0-recipient count in view so the dollar total is not mistaken for a beneficiary census or a cash-paid sum. Nothing on the hub is formulary advice.

How to cite CFDA 93.770

A complete citation is $364,143,471,494.28 in obligations for CFDA 93.770, covering 4,625 awards and 47 states, with 0 indexed recipients, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault.

Start with the Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage program page, then the all-programs index to place 93.770 among other listings. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Ranking on dollars alone hides the empty recipient field.

A worked reading of the 93.770 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $364,143,471,494.28, 4,625 awards, 0 recipients, and 47 states under CFDA 93.770. The mean near $78.7 million is a quotient, not a typical prescription. If a later USAspending.gov file adds award rows faster than dollars, the mean falls; if a few giant assistance actions post, the mean rises without a matching jump in the 4,625 count. The empty recipient field is not a plan-sponsor list.

Nothing in the extract assigns the $364,143,471,494.28 book to direct subsidy versus reinsurance versus low-income subsidy. Those cuts require CMS Part D publications. Treat CFDA 93.770 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the prescription-drug hub, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 4,625 awards and 47 states next to the dollars.

Readers comparing CFDA 93.770 across extracts should keep the 4,625-award count and the 47-state geography in the same sentence as $364,143,471,494.28. Dropping either volume fact turns the obligation total into a floating headline. SpendingVault’s program hub is the place to verify that the current file still carries those four packet facts, including the 0-recipient field.
