Medical Assistance Program federal funding in Louisiana

The Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) shows $55,400,592,595 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Louisiana, on 10 awards. Ten 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 × Louisiana records $55,400,592,595 in USAspending obligations.
  • Only 10 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $5.54 billion per record, not a typical claim.
  • The join is not a Medicaid ranking and not proof Louisiana caused the spending.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Ten awards on the Louisiana Medicaid catalog line

CFDA 93.778 is Medical Assistance Program. Louisiana (LA) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $55,400,592,595 and 10 records. A 93.778 award tagged to Mississippi or Texas is not here. A Louisiana SNAP, SSDI, or Medicare row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the Medicaid total.

Ten awards against $55,400,592,595 yields a mean of about $5,540,059,260 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 10 rows.

Baton Rouge did not “win” $55,400,592,595 by appearing as a geography code. HHS did not “choose Louisiana” in a sense this extract can prove. Correlation of 93.778 with LA is not causation. The overlay Medical Assistance Program in Louisiana is the live table.

Medical Assistance as a USAspending.gov catalog title

The official title is MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade Louisiana’s Medicaid expansion status, its waiver inventory, or its managed-care model. $55,400,592,595 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 93.778 is the national hub without the Louisiana filter. This packet has no national Medicaid total, so none is quoted.

CMS-64 expenditure reports, T-MSIS enrollment files, and Louisiana Department of Health dashboards are other series. They are not the 10 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.

Louisiana’s statewide book besides 93.778

Louisiana federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. Louisiana programs is the catalog directory. $55,400,592,595 is one cell. Quoting it as Louisiana’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 Louisiana on a Medicaid vehicle is often a state agency address. It is not a map of where beneficiaries live. This packet has no parish, no LDH region, and no managed-care-plan split of the $55,400,592,595.

Obligation versus FMAP draws

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $55,400,592,595 is the commitment figure. Weekly funding requests and CMS-64 lines are payment-side stories. This page does not convert the 10 awards into those cash flows.

The Louisiana budget and LDH 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–Louisiana join

Cite: Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) obligated $55,400,592,595 on 10 awards coded to Louisiana, 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 10-award count. Prefer the overlay Medical Assistance Program in Louisiana when the live table and this snapshot diverge.

What 10 rows will not be asked to prove

This page will not treat 10 awards as 10 parishes, 10 health plans, or 10 hospitals. It will not compute a per-capita Medicaid figure because the packet has no population. It will not rank Louisiana against Texas or Mississippi on Medical Assistance. Peer totals are not in these facts.

Retirement insurance, veterans compensation, and disaster grants remain outside $55,400,592,595 even though those programs also appear as Louisiana joins in other slices. Louisiana federal spending, Louisiana programs, CFDA 93.778, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of Louisiana Medicaid or as an outlay.

The mean of about $5.54 billion per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical beneficiary year. There is no beneficiary count here. There is $55,400,592,595 and 10 awards. That is the entire numeric claim. Keep both the program name and Louisiana in every citation sentence.

Louisiana also appears on neighboring catalog lines for Medicare and other assistance programs. Those are other joins. Adding any of them to $55,400,592,595 would manufacture a homemade “Louisiana federal health” total that this packet does not publish. Keep Medical Assistance on its own 10-award line.
