Medicare Hospital Insurance in California

California x 93.773 is a Medicare-HI join, not a census

This page pairs CFDA 93.773, MEDICARE HOSPITAL INSURANCE, with California place of performance. The listing is Medicare Hospital Insurance (Part A) as a CMS assistance catalog line, not a hospital cost report. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $38,138,930,612.57 on 343 awards. The extract does not list hospitals, inpatient stays, or beneficiaries. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 343 awards equal 343 separate local offices.

Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance, Medicaid, or different CMS listings sit outside $38,138,930,612.57 unless they also carry 93.773. Mixing Hospital Insurance with Part B or Medicaid would invent a combined Medicare/Medicaid figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and hospital-bed counts is not causation. Bed-count figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as California locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit the tagged dollars in a particular hospital's operating account. California as place of performance locates the tagged awards; it is not a per-capita comparison against other states.

343 awards behind $38.1 billion

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible continuations, amendments, and payment-file batches. It is not a census of hospitals, inpatient stays, or beneficiaries. Mean obligation is about $111,192,217.53 if $38,138,930,612.57 were divided evenly across 343 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published DRG payment, and not a typical inpatient stay cost. The packet has no inpatient-versus-skilled-nursing split inside 93.773. A 343-line file is large enough that readers should sort the overlay by amount rather than reading this page as a complete roster.

343 lines belong on the overlay table, not in a narrative roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Medicare Hospital Insurance in California for the stored table. Do not convert 343 into a map of California sites. The $38,138,930,612.57 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a census.

Questions

How much Medicare Hospital Insurance funding is obligated in California?

USAspending.gov shows $38,138,930,612.57 in obligations for CFDA 93.773 with California as place of performance, across 343 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 93.773.

Do 343 awards mean 343 California hospitals?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include payment-file batches and adjustments. It is not a hospital or stay census. The packet does not name facilities. See the California 93.773 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this California's entire federal Medicare funding?

No. The join is CFDA 93.773, Medicare Hospital Insurance, crossed with California place of performance. Part B and Medicaid use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are not inside $38,138,930,612.57 unless the award also carries 93.773.

Is $38.1 billion already paid as California hospital bills?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $38,138,930,612.57 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Claim-level hospital payments are not published in this packet.
