Basic Health Program (Affordable Care Act) obligations in Minnesota

Nine BHP records meet Minnesota coding

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 93.640 meets Minnesota place of performance. The dollar book is $1,401,228,420. The award count is 9. The ACA Basic Health Program lets participating states cover people with incomes in a defined band through a state program rather than the marketplace. Nine prime records do not equal nine health plans, and they do not isolate Hennepin County from Greater Minnesota.

The join does not prove that Minnesota’s uninsured rate, MinnesotaCare history, or a particular plan mix caused $1,401,228,420. Those are other series. This packet has no enrollment split. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Minnesota’s full HHS obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. USF High Cost is a different catalog number on the same statewide stack. The 9 figure is a record count, including modifications, not an enrollee headcount.

Nine awards and a blended mean

Nine awards under $1,401,228,420 imply a mean near $155,692,047 per award. A few large federal BHP payments to the state can dominate that average. The packet has no median and no share on the largest of the nine records.

Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical monthly capitation or as a per-enrollee cost.

Minnesota’s 93.640 cell versus parent rollups

Minnesota’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. The Basic Health Program is one HHS line. $1,401,228,420 is not Minnesota’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 93.640 page includes every participating state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance on a state BHP award usually sits on Minnesota even when plans operate statewide. This packet does not reallocate dollars to counties. Read the overlay as a coding view of 9 awards.

Obligations versus plan payments

The $1,401,228,420 figure is an obligation sum. Federal BHP payments and subsequent plan capitations can trail the obligation date. SpendingVault does not publish a 93.640-in-Minnesota outlay total in this packet. Mixing uninsured-rate or marketplace-premium statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 93.640 × Minnesota, $1,401,228,420, 9 awards, obligations only.

Parent hubs

The Minnesota × Basic Health Program overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,401,228,420 on 9 awards. The Minnesota spending page and the CFDA 93.640 program page are the parents. The Minnesota programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into an enrollee count or into outlays this packet omits.

What Minnesota’s Basic Health Program is not

The Basic Health Program in Minnesota is not a ranking of counties by uninsured rate and not a count of MinnesotaCare enrollees. The $1,401,228,420 figure is the CFDA 93.640 × Minnesota cell. Nine awards describe federal BHP payments to the state, not nine health plans. Capitation payments to issuers are downstream of this prime tape and are not listed here.

USF High Cost (CFDA 32.002) is an FCC cell on the same statewide stack. Do not add BHP and High Cost from memory. Cite 93.640 and Minnesota together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 9-award count. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count. The overlay is the live table.

Minnesota’s Basic Health Program cell also does not include MinnesotaCare enrollment, issuer capitation files, or uninsured-rate tables. Those series live with HHS and the state. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 93.640 × Minnesota, $1,401,228,420, 9 awards. If a later extract revises the nine-row tape, the implied mean near $155,692,047 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than an enrollee story.

Keep both sides of the join in any citation: Basic Health Program and Minnesota, obligations only, nine awards on $1,401,228,420.

Questions

How much Basic Health Program spending is in Minnesota?

USAspending.gov shows $1,401,228,420 in CFDA 93.640 obligations coded to Minnesota across 9 awards. The join uses the program number and Minnesota place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Does 9 awards mean 9 health plans received payments?

No. The extract counts 9 award records tagged to CFDA 93.640 and Minnesota. Federal BHP payments to the state can share the tape with modifications. The implied mean is about $155,692,047 per award from the two packet facts.

Is $1.40 billion Minnesota’s full federal health spending?

No. $1,401,228,420 is only the Basic Health Program (Affordable Care Act) cell. Other CFDA programs with Minnesota place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 93.640 is not limited to Minnesota.

Do these obligations equal capitation payments to plans?

No. $1,401,228,420 is an obligation sum. Outlays and plan capitations are different series. This packet does not list issuers or enrollees.
