Medical Assistance Program federal funding in Kentucky
The Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) shows $53,043,443,888 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Kentucky, on 11 awards. Eleven rows can still carry a nine-figure-plus 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 × Kentucky records $53,043,443,888 in USAspending obligations.
- Only 11 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $4.82 billion per record, not a typical claim.
- The join is not a Medicaid ranking and not proof Kentucky caused the spending.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Eleven awards on the Kentucky Medicaid catalog line
CFDA 93.778 is Medical Assistance Program. Kentucky (KY) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $53,043,443,888 and 11 records. A 93.778 award tagged to Tennessee or Ohio is not here. A Kentucky SNAP, SSDI, or Medicare row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the Medicaid total.
Eleven awards against $53,043,443,888 yields a mean of about $4,822,131,263 per record. That mean is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical beneficiary year and not a typical provider claim. Federal Medicaid funding is often booked as a handful of large assistance actions. This packet does not name the recipients of the 11 rows.
Frankfort did not “win” $53,043,443,888 by appearing as a geography code. HHS did not “choose Kentucky” in a sense this extract can prove. Correlation of 93.778 with KY is not causation. The overlay Medical Assistance Program in Kentucky is the live table.
Medical Assistance as a USAspending.gov catalog title
The official title is MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade Kentucky’s Medicaid expansion status, its waiver inventory, or its managed-care model. $53,043,443,888 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 93.778 is the national hub without the Kentucky filter. This packet has no national Medicaid total, so none is quoted.
CMS-64 expenditure reports, T-MSIS enrollment files, and Cabinet for Health and Family Services dashboards are other series. They are not the 11 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing an enrollment count from those files with this join would invent a per-enrollee dollar figure the packet does not support.
Kentucky’s statewide book besides 93.778
Kentucky federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. Kentucky programs is the catalog directory. $53,043,443,888 is one cell. Quoting it as Kentucky’s entire federal health book would drop retirement insurance, veterans compensation, disaster grants, and every other line that also hits the state.
Place-of-performance Kentucky on a Medicaid vehicle is often a state agency address. It is not a map of where beneficiaries live. This packet has no county, no CHFS region, and no managed-care-plan split of the $53,043,443,888.
Obligation versus FMAP draws
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $53,043,443,888 is the commitment figure. Weekly funding requests and CMS-64 lines are payment-side stories. This page does not convert the 11 awards into those cash flows.
The Kentucky budget and Department for Medicaid Services appropriations answer other questions. They are not the source of this USAspending.gov cell. Keep the citation on CFDA aggregates by place of performance state.
How to cite the 93.778–Kentucky join
Cite: Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) obligated $53,043,443,888 on 11 awards coded to Kentucky, 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 11-award count. Prefer the overlay Medical Assistance Program in Kentucky when the live table and this snapshot diverge.
What 11 rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 11 awards as 11 regions, 11 health plans, or 11 hospitals. It will not compute a per-capita Medicaid figure because the packet has no population. It will not rank Kentucky against Indiana or Tennessee on Medical Assistance. Peer totals are not in these facts.
Retirement insurance, veterans compensation, and disaster grants remain outside $53,043,443,888 even though those programs also appear as Kentucky joins in other slices. Kentucky federal spending, Kentucky programs, CFDA 93.778, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of Kentucky Medicaid or as an outlay.
The mean of about $4.82 billion per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical beneficiary year. There is no beneficiary count here. There is $53,043,443,888 and 11 awards. That is the entire numeric claim. Keep both the program name and Kentucky in every citation sentence.
Kentucky also appears on neighboring catalog lines for Medicare and other assistance programs. Those are other joins. Adding any of them to $53,043,443,888 would manufacture a homemade “Kentucky federal health” total that this packet does not publish. Keep Medical Assistance on its own 11-award line.
