Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) federal funding in New York
USAspending.gov records $246,889,319,493.94 in Medical Assistance Program obligations under CFDA 93.778 with place of performance in New York, across 14 awards. The join names Medicaid’s federal assistance listing and New York as geography. Fourteen award records against $246.89 billion is extreme concentration — about $17.63 billion per award on average ($246,889,319,493.94 ÷ 14). That shape is consistent with large formula assistance to a state, not 14 hospital invoices. Obligations are not outlays. The pair does not say Albany created the CFDA or that every Medicaid claim in New York sits as its own award row.

The 93.778 and New York intersection
This page isolates CFDA 93.778 (Medical Assistance Program) and New York (NY) place of performance. The $246,889,319,493.94 total is the USAspending program-by-state aggregate for that pair. New York’s all-program hub lists other CFDA codes in the same state; the national 93.778 hub lists other states for the same listing. This cell is only the overlap.
Fourteen awards is not 14 hospitals, not 14 counties, and not 14 managed-care plans. Formula Medicaid assistance often appears as a small number of very large award records. The packet does not name the recipient. New York as a USAspending state tag includes the city and the rest of the state in one code.
CFDA 93.778 versus other New York health dollars
Catalog listing 93.778 is the Medical Assistance Program. Medicare, public-health, and research listings use different CFDA numbers. A Veterans Affairs agency-state page for New York uses awarding agency 036 rather than this program code. Mixing those tables with $246,889,319,493.94 would confuse filters.
The overlay /states/ny/programs/93.778/ is the table view of this exact pair. The national program page for CFDA 93.778 is the place to see the listing without a New York constraint. This narrative restates 14 awards and the New York dollar total only.
New York as place of performance
New York is state code NY. Place of performance for a Medicaid listing often follows the state that operates the program, but the USAspending field can also reflect a recipient address or a coding convention. Awards tagged to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, or other states stay outside this $246,889,319,493.94 sum. The join does not model beneficiaries who move across those borders.
Statewide New York federal spending is the parent geography. CFDA 93.778 is one program among many there. This page does not add other New York program cells to the $246,889,319,493.94 figure.
Reading $17.63 billion per award
Mean obligation of about $17.63 billion ($246,889,319,493.94 ÷ 14) is a concentration statistic, not a typical provider payment. A handful of large assistance awards to a state can produce this shape. The packet has no median, no fiscal-year split, and no FMAP percentage. Inventing those would go beyond the facts.
Net obligations can include amendments and downward adjustments. 14 remains an award-record count in the aggregate. It is not 14 years of data; this packet has no year field.
What the 93.778–New York pair is not
Sharing a state with a Medicaid listing does not mean New York campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert $246,889,319,493.94 into outlays. The page does not rank New York’s uninsured rate. It reports one USAspending program–state cell.
