Medical Assistance Program federal funding in Alabama
Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) shows $22,218,769,225.23 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Alabama, on 12 awards. Twelve rows can still carry an eleven-figure Medicaid book when the award file stores large federal-to-state vehicles. This page is a catalog-program × state join, not an enrollment census and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table.
Key figures
- CFDA 93.778 × Alabama records $22,218,769,225.23 in USAspending obligations.
- 12 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $1,851,564,102 per record, not a typical unit.
- Matching Medical Assistance to Alabama is not causation and not an enrollment census.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Twelve awards on the Alabama Medicaid catalog line
CFDA 93.778 is Medical Assistance Program. Alabama (AL) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $22,218,769,225.23 and 12 records. A 93.778 award tagged to Mississippi, Georgia, or Tennessee is not here. An Alabama award under Medicare, SNAP, or CHIP is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the $22,218,769,225.23.
Twelve awards against $22,218,769,225.23 yields a mean of about $1,851,564,102 per record. That mean is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical beneficiary year and not a typical provider claim. Federal-to-state Medicaid vehicles can dominate dollars while the row count stays at 12. This packet does not name the recipients of the 12 rows.
Montgomery did not win the total by appearing as a geography code. HHS did not choose Alabama in a sense this extract can prove. Correlation of 93.778 with AL is not causation. The overlay Medical Assistance Program in Alabama is the live table.
Medical Assistance as a USAspending.gov catalog title
The official catalog title is MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade Alabama’s Medicaid system, its backlog, or its policy model. $22,218,769,225.23 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 93.778 is the national hub without the Alabama filter. This packet has no national Medicaid total, so none is quoted.
CMS-64 expenditure reports, T-MSIS enrollment files, and state Medicaid dashboards are other series. They are not the 12 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a census from those files with this join would invent a per-person dollar figure the packet does not support. Gulf-coast hospital and rural-waiver folklore is ordinary speech, not a packet field.
Alabama’s statewide book besides 93.778
Alabama federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. Alabama programs is the catalog directory. $22,218,769,225.23 is one cell. Quoting it as Alabama’s entire federal book would drop Medicare, SNAP, or CHIP and every other line that also hits the state.
Place-of-performance Alabama on a Medicaid vehicle is often an agency or payment-center address. It is not a map of where people live. This packet has no county split of the $22,218,769,225.23 and no congressional-district cut. Birmingham did not receive $22,218,769,225.23 as a named metro.
Obligation versus FMAP draws in Alabama
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $22,218,769,225.23 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 12 awards into cash flows, enrollment census counts, or Treasury deposits. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov CFDA aggregates by place of performance state.
Montgomery budget documents and state-level appropriations answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes General Fund activity with CFDA 93.778, the chart has left the federal award series. Gulf folklore and Birmingham hospital stories are not a county split. This packet has no FMAP percentage and no managed-care-plan roster.
How to cite the 93.778–Alabama join
Cite: Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) obligated $22,218,769,225.23 on 12 awards coded to Alabama, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Keep “obligations.” Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.
Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 12-award count. Prefer the overlay Medical Assistance Program in Alabama when the live table and this snapshot diverge. The JSON is a packet, not a second official ledger. CFDA 93.778, Alabama federal spending, Alabama programs, and All spending ties are the parent hubs, not competing sums.
What 12 rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 12 awards as 12 people, 12 facilities, or 12 local programs. It will not compute a per-capita figure because the packet has no population. It will not rank Alabama against Mississippi, Georgia, or Tennessee on Medicaid. Peer totals are not in these facts.
Medicare, SNAP, or CHIP remain outside $22,218,769,225.23 even though those programs also appear as Alabama joins. Adding any of them would manufacture a homemade combined total this packet does not publish. The mean of about $1,851,564,102 per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical beneficiary year and not a typical provider claim. There is no beneficiary or project census here.
USAspending.gov award counts increment when a new award is recorded and when a modification is stored as its own line, depending on how the bulk file is rolled up. They do not increment when a Alabama resident enrolls, files, or starts a project. Treating 12 as a enrollment census would collapse two measurement systems. $22,218,769,225.23 stays an obligation sum on those rows. Keep the overlay Medical Assistance Program in Alabama as the live cell if later ingests move dollars or the 12-award count. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much Medical Assistance is obligated in Alabama?
- USAspending.gov records $22,218,769,225.23 in CFDA 93.778 obligations across 12 awards coded to Alabama. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not Alabama’s full federal total. Keep both the program name and Alabama in any citation. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Can 12 awards hold $22,218,769,225.23?
- Award count is a row count. $22,218,769,225.23 ÷ 12 is about $1,851,564,102 per record as a mean, not a typical beneficiary year and not a typical provider claim. Federal-to-state Medicaid vehicles can dominate dollars. This packet does not list recipients. See Medical Assistance Program in Alabama for the stored table.
- Is this Alabama Medicaid enrollment?
- No. The $22,218,769,225.23 and 12 awards are USAspending.gov obligation records for CFDA 93.778 with a Alabama geography tag. Enrollment lives in other CMS and state Medicaid publications, not in this USAspending.gov cell. Mixing those files with this join would invent a figure the packet does not support.
- Where is the live overlay?
- Medical Assistance Program in Alabama is the overlay. See Alabama federal spending, Alabama programs, CFDA 93.778, and All spending ties. Later bulk files override this snapshot. Keep the obligation label on $22,218,769,225.23. Do not invent a fiscal year; this packet publishes none.
