Medical Assistance Program in Arkansas

Arkansas x 93.778 is a medical-assistance join, not a census

This page pairs CFDA 93.778, MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, with Arkansas place of performance. The listing is the Medical Assistance Program — Medicaid federal financial participation as USAspending stores it. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $24,314,367,629 on nine awards. The extract does not list enrollees, hospitals, or claims. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that nine awards equal nine separate local offices.

CHIP, Medicare, or different CMS listings sit outside $24,314,367,629 unless they also carry 93.778. Mixing Medicaid with Medicare or CHIP would invent a combined health-coverage figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and uninsured rates is not causation. Uninsured figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit the tagged dollars in a particular hospital's account. Arkansas as place of performance locates the tagged awards; it is not a Delta ranking.

Nine awards behind $24.3 billion

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible continuations, amendments, and payment-file batches. It is not a census of enrollees, hospitals, or claims. Mean obligation is about $2,701,596,403.22 if $24,314,367,629 were divided evenly across nine lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published FMAP grant, and not a typical hospital payment. The packet has no acute-versus-long-term-care split inside 93.778.

Nine lines belong on the overlay table, not in a narrative roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Medical Assistance Program in Arkansas for the stored table. Do not convert nine into a map of Arkansas sites. The $24,314,367,629 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a census. Nine lines are scannable on the overlay; that still does not make them a local-office map.

Questions

How much Medical Assistance Program funding is obligated in Arkansas?

USAspending.gov shows $24,314,367,629 in obligations for CFDA 93.778 with Arkansas as place of performance, across nine awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire health budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 93.778.

Do 9 awards mean 9 Arkansas hospitals?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include formula runs and continuations. It is not a hospital, enrollee, or claim census. The packet does not name agencies. See the Arkansas 93.778 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Arkansas's entire federal health-coverage funding?

No. The join is CFDA 93.778, Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid), crossed with Arkansas place of performance. Medicare and CHIP use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are not inside $24,314,367,629 unless the award also carries 93.778.

Is $24.3 billion already paid to Arkansas providers?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $24,314,367,629 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Claim-level payments are not published in this packet. Remaining balances are not in the facts.
