Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance federal funding in Connecticut
$87,199,135,378.12 in USAspending.gov obligations is booked to Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance (CFDA 93.774) with Connecticut place-of-performance, across 36 awards. The page is a catalog-program × state join. It does not measure Connecticut’s physician-fee schedule, does not count Part B enrollees, and does not turn obligations into Treasury outlays. USAspending.gov remains the source table; SpendingVault only indexes the pair.
Key figures
- CFDA 93.774 × Connecticut records $87,199,135,378.12 in USAspending obligations.
- 36 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $2,422,198,205 per record, not a typical visit.
- Matching a CFDA to Connecticut is not causation.
- Report obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
The 93.774 and Connecticut filters together
Keep both keys in view. CFDA 93.774 is Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance. Connecticut (CT) is the geography tag. The product is $87,199,135,378.12 and 36 awards. Removing either key empties the cell. A Connecticut Medical Assistance (93.778) row is a different program. A 93.774 row tagged to a neighboring state is a different geography. Hospital insurance (93.773) is a sibling catalog number, not this join.
36 awards against $87,199,135,378.12 produces a mean of about $2,422,198,205 per record. That average is not a typical outpatient visit. It reflects how this assistance program is stored in the award file—often as large vehicles rather than claim-level lines. This packet does not itemize those vehicles or say how many of the 36 rows are modifications versus original awards. 36 awards is a compact SMI grain; large vehicles still dominate dollars.
Hartford did not “attract” $87,199,135,378.12 merely by being the state code, and CMS did not “award Connecticut” in a sense this join can prove. Matching program to state is not causation. The overlay Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance in Connecticut is the live pair.
Supplementary Medical Insurance as a catalog line, not a report card
The official CFDA title is MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTARY MEDICAL INSURANCE. SpendingVault reports the obligation sum, not a medical-quality ranking and not a comparison of Connecticut to other states on access or outcomes. CFDA 93.774 is the national hub without the Connecticut filter. This packet has no national total, so none is stated and none is inferred from the $87,199,135,378.12.
Trustees’ reports and CMS public-use files are other products. They are not the 36 USAspending.gov awards behind $87,199,135,378.12. Borrowing an enrollment number from those products and placing it next to this cell would invent a statistic this packet does not contain.
Connecticut spending beyond this one CFDA
Connecticut federal spending is the all-program state book. Connecticut programs is the catalog directory. $87,199,135,378.12 is one cell inside those views, not a substitute for them. A reader who quotes only this join as “federal health spending in Connecticut” has dropped every other CFDA that also hits the state.
Place-of-performance Connecticut may be a contractor, a Medicare Administrative Contractor footprint, a state agency, or another tagged address. It is not a patient-origin map. This packet has no county split, no ZIP rollup, and no congressional-district cut, so those geographies are not described as shares of the $87,199,135,378.12.
What the obligation label excludes
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $87,199,135,378.12 is the commitment figure on USAspending.gov. This page does not age the 36 awards into cash and does not treat the sum as money already in Connecticut providers’ accounts.
Hartford budget acts and CMS claims extracts answer different questions. Mixing them with this join will misstate the $87,199,135,378.12. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.
Citation for the Connecticut SMI cell
Cite USAspending.gov: Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance (CFDA 93.774) obligated $87,199,135,378.12 on 36 awards coded to Connecticut. Name program and state. 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 Supplementary Medical Insurance in Connecticut when the snapshot and the live table diverge. Treat this JSON as documentation of one packet, not as a frozen CMS press total.
Boundaries the Connecticut SMI cell does not cross
This extract will not be used as a proxy for Connecticut’s uninsured rate, its Medicare Advantage penetration, or its physician supply. Those measures live in other files. The only numbers here are $87,199,135,378.12 and 36 awards for CFDA 93.774 with Connecticut place-of-performance. Stretching the cell into a health-system narrative is a category error.
Hospital insurance (93.773) and Medical Assistance (93.778) are neighboring catalog lines in the same state. They are not this join. Summing them with $87,199,135,378.12 would create a homemade “health spending” total that USAspending.gov did not publish in this packet. Keep 93.774 separate.
Navigation stays on the named hubs: Connecticut federal spending for the all-program book, Connecticut programs for sibling CFDAs, CFDA 93.774 for the program without a state filter, and All spending ties for other joins. The overlay Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance in Connecticut remains the live cell if dollars or the 36-award count move.

- How much Medicare SMI is obligated in Connecticut?
- USAspending.gov shows $87,199,135,378.12 in CFDA 93.774 obligations across 36 awards coded to Connecticut. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not Connecticut’s full federal total.
- What does the 36-award count mean?
- It is a row count, not an enrollee count. $87,199,135,378.12 ÷ 36 is about $2,422,198,205 per record as a mean. Large assistance vehicles can dominate dollars. This packet does not list recipients.
- Is CFDA 93.774 the same as Medicare Part B?
- The catalog title is Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance. This page reports the USAspending.gov obligation cell ($87,199,135,378.12, 36 awards) and does not import CMS enrollment or Part B premium tables.
- Where is the live join?
- Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance in Connecticut is the overlay. See also Connecticut federal spending, Connecticut programs, CFDA 93.774, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot.
