State Survey Certification of Health Care Providers and Suppliers (Title XIX) Medicaid — CFDA 93.796

Medicaid survey dollars on 215 award records

Assistance listing 93.796 is titled STATE SURVEY CERTIFICATION OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND SUPPLIERS (TITLE XIX) MEDICAID in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $1,074,229,194.83. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $1.07B as cash already paid to survey teams mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

215 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $1,074,229,194.83 by 215 produces a mean near $5.00 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical survey-contract price and not a cost per facility visit. Title XIX survey dollars often sit on state-agency assistance actions, which is why 215 records can carry $1.07B without implying 215 inspection campaigns.

The 53 recipients in the extract are organizational recipients stored on those award rows, not a headcount of surveyors. 51 states appear in the place-of-performance coding. None of those volume stats converts the dollar total into a certified-provider census.

53 recipients across 51 states

CFDA 93.796 lists 53 recipients and 51 states against 215 awards. Recipient count is not unique nursing homes or clinics. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A state survey agency can appear on multiple awards; 53 is close to the 51-state span, a pattern consistent with one primary grantee per coded jurisdiction plus a few extras. The 51-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every surveyed building.

215 awards against 53 recipients averages about four award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 215 tally without moving $1,074,229,194.83 much, while a few large commitments can do the reverse. The 93.796 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus survey outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $1,074,229,194.83 figure for CFDA 93.796 can include commitments that will disburse later. Medicaid state-plan tables, CMS survey-and-certification workload reports, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 93.796 program page. Do not stretch 215 awards or 53 recipients to cover every Title XIX dollar that touches a provider survey.

What the 93.796 tables omit

The Medicaid survey-certification hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a deficiency-tag file, not a star-rating table, and not a list of providers that passed or failed. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,074,229,194.83. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 215 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 51 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while survey work sits in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 93.796 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $1,074,229,194.83, 215 awards, 53 recipients, and 51 states under CFDA 93.796. The mean near $5.00 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a typical inspection invoice. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large state actions, dollars can jump while 53 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 215 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $1.07B.

Nothing in the extract splits nursing facilities from other provider types, or survey from certification. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 93.796 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 215 awards and 53 recipients next to the dollars so the modest record count is visible.
