Medical Assistance Program federal funding in Massachusetts

The Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) shows $53,561,129,458 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Massachusetts, on 9 awards. Nine 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 × Massachusetts records $53,561,129,458 in USAspending obligations.
  • Only 9 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $5.95 billion per record, not a typical claim.
  • The join is not a Medicaid ranking and not proof Massachusetts caused the spending.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Nine awards on the Massachusetts Medicaid catalog line

CFDA 93.778 is Medical Assistance Program. Massachusetts (MA) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $53,561,129,458 and 9 records. A 93.778 award tagged to Connecticut or New Hampshire is not here. A Massachusetts SNAP, SSDI, or Medicare row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the Medicaid total.

Nine awards against $53,561,129,458 yields a mean of about $5,951,236,606 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 9 rows.

Boston did not “win” $53,561,129,458 by appearing as a geography code. HHS did not “choose Massachusetts” in a sense this extract can prove. Correlation of 93.778 with MA is not causation. The overlay Medical Assistance Program in Massachusetts is the live table.

Medical Assistance as a USAspending.gov catalog title

The official title is MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade Massachusetts’s Medicaid expansion status, its waiver inventory, or its MassHealth managed-care model. $53,561,129,458 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 93.778 is the national hub without the Massachusetts filter. This packet has no national Medicaid total, so none is quoted.

CMS-64 expenditure reports, T-MSIS enrollment files, and MassHealth dashboards are other series. They are not the 9 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.

Massachusetts’s statewide book besides 93.778

Massachusetts federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. Massachusetts programs is the catalog directory. $53,561,129,458 is one cell. Quoting it as Massachusetts’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 Massachusetts 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 MassHealth region, and no managed-care-plan split of the $53,561,129,458.

Obligation versus FMAP draws

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $53,561,129,458 is the commitment figure. Weekly funding requests and CMS-64 lines are payment-side stories. This page does not convert the 9 awards into those cash flows.

The Massachusetts budget and MassHealth 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–Massachusetts join

Cite: Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) obligated $53,561,129,458 on 9 awards coded to Massachusetts, 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 9-award count. Prefer the overlay Medical Assistance Program in Massachusetts when the live table and this snapshot diverge.

What 9 rows will not be asked to prove

This page will not treat 9 awards as 9 counties, 9 health plans, or 9 hospitals. It will not compute a per-capita Medicaid figure because the packet has no population. It will not rank Massachusetts against Connecticut or New York on Medical Assistance. Peer totals are not in these facts.

Retirement insurance, veterans compensation, and disaster grants remain outside $53,561,129,458 even though those programs also appear as Massachusetts joins in other slices. Massachusetts federal spending, Massachusetts programs, CFDA 93.778, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of MassHealth or as an outlay.

The mean of about $5.95 billion per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical beneficiary year. There is no beneficiary count here. There is $53,561,129,458 and 9 awards. That is the entire numeric claim. Keep both the program name and Massachusetts in every citation sentence.

Massachusetts also appears on neighboring catalog lines for Medicare and other assistance programs. Those are other joins. Adding any of them to $53,561,129,458 would manufacture a homemade “Massachusetts federal health” total that this packet does not publish. Keep Medical Assistance on its own 9-award line.
