Rural Health Transformation Program — CFDA 93.798

$10,000,000,000 ($10.0 billion) in federal obligations are recorded for the Rural Health Transformation Program (CFDA 93.798) in USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault. Fifty awards, 50 recipients, and 50 states carry that book—one award and one recipient per coded state in this snapshot. The headline is an obligation total, not an outlay total and not a count of clinics converted

Key figures

  • CFDA 93.798 shows $10,000,000,000 in USAspending obligations.
  • 50 awards, 50 recipients, and 50 states align one-to-one in this extract.
  • Mean dollars per award equal $200 million from the packet totals.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays.

Fifty awards hold $10 billion even

Assistance listing 93.798 is titled RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $10,000,000,000. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a hospital invoice already paid.

50 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $10,000,000,000 by 50 produces a mean of $200 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical rural clinic budget and not a per-patient transformation cost. A listing this even will look sparse in the award table even while the dollar sum is large.

50 organizational recipients appear on those rows—matching the award count and the state count. The extract therefore describes a one-to-one alignment of awards, recipients, and states in this snapshot, not a competitive round of thousands of small grants.

50 recipients and 50 states

CFDA 93.798 lists 50 recipients and 50 states against 50 awards. Recipient count is not unique patients. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. With matching 50s across awards, recipients, and states, each coded state lines up with a single award and a single recipient in this extract.

Fifty states is a coded-jurisdiction span. The hub keeps $10,000,000,000, 50 awards, 50 recipients, and 50 states visible so the even split is read as a file statistic, not as a claim about how dollars were later subawarded inside each state.

Obligations versus rural-health outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $10,000,000,000 figure for CFDA 93.798 can include commitments that will disburse as transformation work continues. A separate rural-hospital closure table or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. 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 93.798 program page. Do not stretch 50 awards to cover every rural-health dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 93.798 tables omit

The Rural Health Transformation Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a clinic roster, not a workforce file, and not a ranking of rural outcomes. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $10,000,000,000.

Place-of-performance on 50 states is a coding field. A statewide recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while facilities sit in many counties. Read the program page before any county split.

How to cite CFDA 93.798

A complete citation is $10,000,000,000 in obligations for CFDA 93.798, covering 50 awards, 50 recipients, and 50 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. Lead with the matching 50s if the question is structure rather than dollars.

Start with the Rural Health Transformation Program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A worked reading of the 93.798 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 93.798: $10,000,000,000 in obligations, 50 awards, 50 recipients, and 50 states. The mean near $200.00 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 50 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 50 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $10,000,000,000.

Nothing in the extract splits RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 93.798 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 50 awards and 50 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $10,000,000,000. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $10,000,000,000 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 93.798, covering 50 awards, 50 recipients, and 50 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert the matching 50s into a claim about how dollars were later subawarded inside each state. The 50-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $10,000,000,000, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 50 award rows.

Why does CFDA 93.798 have exactly 50 awards?
The indexed award count is 50, matching 50 recipients and 50 states in this extract. Those records carry $10,000,000,000 in obligations. The 50 figure is a file statistic, not a count of clinics. Mean dollars per award equal $200 million from the two packet totals.
Is the $10 billion already spent on rural facilities?
Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $10,000,000,000 figure can include amounts that will disburse later.

The extract codes 50 states for the Rural Health Transformation Program. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every rural clinic. Those rows still sit under the $10,000,000,000 obligation total and the 50-recipient count.
