Medicare Hospital Insurance — CFDA 93.773 obligations

What CFDA 93.773’s $1.03 trillion records

Assistance listing 93.773 is titled MEDICARE HOSPITAL INSURANCE in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $1,034,408,804,018.91. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $1,034,408,804,018.91 as hospital cash already paid mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations throughout this roll-up.

4,645 awards sit under that dollar figure. Dividing $1,034,408,804,018.91 by 4,645 produces a mean near $223 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical inpatient stay and not a deductible. The hub does not publish a median; only the sum and the 4,645 count are in this packet.

Award volume without listed recipients

The extract lists 4,645 awards and 0 recipients for CFDA 93.773. Award count is a record tally in the assistance files. Recipient count is how many organizational recipients the index stores. A recipient count of 0 is a file statistic for this listing. It is not a claim that no hospital was paid, and it is not a count of Medicare discharges.

Readers should not infer a provider list from the $1,034,408,804,018.91 total. The 4,645-award tally still describes volume. Repeat actions can increment that tally without creating a recipient row. Cite both numbers when the hospital-insurance figure is reused.

47 states in the hospital-insurance extract

USAspending.gov place-of-performance coding for CFDA 93.773 reaches 47 states in this extract. That geographic span is a count of coded jurisdictions, not a coverage map of every hospital, and not a forecast. The $1,034,408,804,018.91 obligation total is the dollar book behind that map. Later assistance files can change both dollars and the 47-state count.

Place-of-performance is a coding field. A national action coded to one jurisdiction can dominate a cell. Read the 93.773 program hub first, then any state split, rather than treating a single state row as the full hospital-insurance story.

Obligations versus hospital outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $1,034,408,804,018.91 figure for CFDA 93.773 can include commitments that will disburse later, and it can omit cash paid on actions this extract does not carry. CMS trustees’ inpatient 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 4,645-award count and the 0-recipient count in view so the dollar total is not mistaken for a discharge census or a cash-paid sum. Nothing on the hub is billing advice.

How to read the CFDA 93.773 hub

Start with the Medicare Hospital Insurance program page, then the all-programs index if you need to place 93.773 among other assistance listings. Both views still describe USAspending.gov obligations, not outlays. Ranking this listing on dollars alone hides the empty recipient field and the 4,645-award volume.

A complete citation is $1,034,408,804,018.91 in obligations for CFDA 93.773, covering 4,645 awards and 47 states, with 0 indexed recipients, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing total.

A worked reading of the 93.773 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $1,034,408,804,018.91, 4,645 awards, 0 recipients, and 47 states under CFDA 93.773. The mean near $223 million is a quotient, not an inpatient stay cost. 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 4,645 count. The empty recipient field is a file statistic, not a hospital census.

Nothing in the extract assigns the $1,034,408,804,018.91 book to inpatient versus skilled-nursing versus home-health shares inside hospital insurance. Those cuts require CMS publications. Treat CFDA 93.773 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the hospital-insurance hub, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Do not convert 47 states into a coverage map of every hospital.

Readers comparing CFDA 93.773 across extracts should keep the 4,645-award count and the 47-state geography in the same sentence as $1,034,408,804,018.91. 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.
