Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage federal funding in California
Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (CFDA 93.770) shows $12,628,805,282.74 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to California, on 343 awards. Hundreds of award rows can still sit far below a beneficiary or prescription census. This page is a catalog-program × state join, not a prescription or enrollee census and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table.
Key figures
- CFDA 93.770 × California records $12,628,805,282.74 in USAspending obligations.
- 343 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $36,818,674 per record, not a typical unit.
- Matching Medicare Part D to California is not causation and not a prescription or enrollee census.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Part D meeting California in the award file
CFDA 93.770 is Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage. California (CA) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $12,628,805,282.74 and 343 records. A 93.770 award tagged to Nevada, Arizona, or Oregon is not here. A California award under Part A (93.773) or Part B (93.774) is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the $12,628,805,282.74.
343 awards against $12,628,805,282.74 yields a mean of about $36,818,674 per record. That mean is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical prescription and not a typical enrollee year. Large assistance vehicles and modifications can dominate dollars while the row count stays at 343. This packet does not name the recipients of the 343 rows.
Sacramento did not win the dollars by appearing as CA. Pharmacy-benefit folklore is not a recipient list in this packet. Matching 93.770 to CA is not causation. The overlay Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage in California is the live table.
What CFDA 93.770 reports without a formulary census
The official catalog title is MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE. SpendingVault does not grade California’s Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage system, its backlog, or its policy model. $12,628,805,282.74 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 93.770 is the national hub without the California filter. This packet has no national Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage total, so none is quoted.
CMS Part D enrollment files, plan-bid reports, and PDE publications are other series. They are not the 343 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a census from those files with this join would invent a per-person dollar figure the packet does not support. Part d plan and pharmacy-benefit folklore is ordinary speech, not a packet field.
California’s federal book besides prescription-drug coverage
California federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. California programs is the catalog directory. $12,628,805,282.74 is one cell. Quoting it as California’s entire federal book would drop Part A (93.773) or Part B (93.774) and every other line that also hits the state.
Place-of-performance California on a Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage vehicle is often an agency or payment-center address. It is not a map of where people live. This packet has no county split of the $12,628,805,282.74 and no congressional-district cut. Los Angeles did not receive $12,628,805,282.74 as a named metro.
Obligations versus Part D claims already paid
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $12,628,805,282.74 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 343 awards into cash flows, prescription or enrollee census counts, or Treasury deposits. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov CFDA aggregates by place of performance state.
Sacramento budget documents and state-level appropriations answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes General Fund activity with CFDA 93.770, the chart has left the federal award series. This extract has no plan-bid table and no county prescription split. Part A and Part B remain different CFDAs.
How to cite the 93.770–California join
Cite: Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (CFDA 93.770) obligated $12,628,805,282.74 on 343 awards coded to California, 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 343-award count. Prefer the overlay Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage in California when the live table and this snapshot diverge. The JSON is a packet, not a second official ledger. CFDA 93.770, California federal spending, California programs, and All spending ties are the parent hubs, not competing sums.
What 343 California Part D rows cannot prove
This page will not treat 343 awards as 343 people, 343 facilities, or 343 local programs. It will not compute a per-capita figure because the packet has no population. It will not rank California against Nevada, Arizona, or Oregon on Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage. Peer totals are not in these facts.
Part A (93.773) or Part B (93.774) remain outside $12,628,805,282.74 even though those programs also appear as California joins. Adding any of them would manufacture a homemade combined total this packet does not publish. The mean of about $36,818,674 per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical prescription and not a typical enrollee year. There is no beneficiary or project census here.
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 California resident enrolls, files, or starts a project. Treating 343 as a prescription or enrollee census would collapse two measurement systems. $12,628,805,282.74 stays an obligation sum on those rows. Keep the overlay Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage in California as the live cell if later ingests move dollars or the 343-award count. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage is obligated in California?
- USAspending.gov records $12,628,805,282.74 in CFDA 93.770 obligations across 343 awards coded to California. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not California’s full federal total. Keep both the program name and California in any citation. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Is 343 a count of California Part D enrollees?
- Award count is a row count. $12,628,805,282.74 ÷ 343 is about $36,818,674 per record as a mean, not a typical prescription and not a typical enrollee year. Large assistance vehicles and modifications can dominate dollars. This packet does not list recipients. See Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage in California for the stored table.
- Does this include Part A or Part B?
- No. The $12,628,805,282.74 and 343 awards are USAspending.gov obligation records for CFDA 93.770 with a California geography tag. Hospital insurance and supplementary medical insurance use different CFDAs. Those dollars are outside this cell. Mixing those files with this join would invent a figure the packet does not support.
- Where is the live overlay?
- Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage in California is the overlay. See California federal spending, California programs, CFDA 93.770, and All spending ties. Later bulk files override this snapshot. Keep the obligation label on $12,628,805,282.74. Do not invent a fiscal year; this packet publishes none.
