Medicare Hospital Insurance federal funding in Connecticut
Medicare Hospital Insurance (CFDA 93.773) shows $57,556,538,419.25 in USAspending.gov obligations with Connecticut place-of-performance, across 36 awards. The page is a program × state join, not a hospital quality ranking and not an outlay series. 36 rows is a record count, not a count of Connecticut campuses. USAspending.gov remains the source table.

Hospital insurance and Connecticut as two filters
The catalog key is 93.773. The geography key is Connecticut (CT). Their product is $57,556,538,419.25 and 36 awards. A 93.773 row tagged to a neighboring state is excluded. A Connecticut SMI (93.774) or Medical Assistance (93.778) row is a different program. This page does not sum those siblings with hospital insurance.
36 awards against $57,556,538,419.25 produces a mean of about $1,598,792,734 per record. That average is not a typical DRG payment. Large assistance vehicles can dominate the book. This packet does not itemize vehicle type or recipient.
Hartford did not cause $57,556,538,419.25 by being the state tag. Matching CFDA to state is not causation. Medicare Hospital Insurance in Connecticut is the live overlay.
Hospital insurance as a catalog title, not a quality score
The official title is MEDICARE HOSPITAL INSURANCE. SpendingVault reports the obligation sum, not CMS star ratings and not a comparison of Connecticut hospitals to other states. CFDA 93.773 is the national hub without the Connecticut filter. This packet has no national total, so none is quoted from $57,556,538,419.25.
Trustees’ reports, MedPAR files, and Hospital Compare are other products. They are not the 36 USAspending.gov awards. Borrowing a discharge count from those products and placing it next to this cell would invent a per-stay dollar figure the packet does not contain. Cost reports that name Connecticut hospitals are likewise a different series. This page stays with the award aggregate under CFDA 93.773.
Connecticut spending beyond CFDA 93.773
Connecticut federal spending is the all-program state book. Connecticut programs is the catalog directory. $57,556,538,419.25 is one cell inside those views. A reader who quotes only this join as “federal health spending in Connecticut” has dropped SMI, Medicaid, and every other CFDA that also hits the state.
Place-of-performance Connecticut may be a MAC footprint, a contractor, a state agency, or another tagged address. It is not a patient-origin map. This packet has no hospital, no county, and no HRR split of the $57,556,538,419.25.
Obligation versus claims already paid
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $57,556,538,419.25 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 36 awards into inpatient claims already paid to Connecticut providers.
Hartford budget acts and CMS claims extracts answer different questions. Mixing them with this join will misstate the $57,556,538,419.25. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.
How to cite the 93.773–Connecticut pair
Cite USAspending.gov: Medicare Hospital Insurance (CFDA 93.773) obligated $57,556,538,419.25 on 36 awards coded to Connecticut. Keep both sides of the join. Keep the obligation label. Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores the pair with other joins.
Later loads can change both dollars and the 36-award count. Prefer the overlay Medicare Hospital Insurance in Connecticut when the snapshot and the live table diverge.
What 36 rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 36 awards as 36 hospitals, 36 counties, or 36 DRG families. It will not compute a per-discharge figure because the packet has no discharge count. It will not rank Connecticut against other states on hospital insurance. Peer totals are not in these facts.
SMI (93.774) and Medical Assistance (93.778) remain outside $57,556,538,419.25. Connecticut federal spending, Connecticut programs, CFDA 93.773, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of Connecticut hospitals or as an outlay.
The mean of about $1,598,792,734 per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical inpatient stay. There is no claim file here. There is $57,556,538,419.25 and 36 awards. That is the entire numeric claim. Keep both the program name and Connecticut in every citation sentence.
Connecticut also appears in this slice on SMI; that sibling catalog number is not added to hospital insurance.
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 Connecticut hospital files a claim. Treating 36 as a campus census would collapse two measurement systems. $57,556,538,419.25 stays an obligation sum on those rows.
Keep the overlay Medicare Hospital Insurance in Connecticut as the live cell. Keep Connecticut federal spending, Connecticut programs, CFDA 93.773, and All spending ties as the parent map. If those pages and this snapshot disagree after a later ingest, the overlay wins. Do not freeze $57,556,538,419.25 as a permanent official total. Later bulk files can move both dollars and the 36-award count without this prose changing until the packet is rewritten.
