Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance federal funding in Pennsylvania
$154,112,168,942.47 in USAspending.gov obligations is booked to Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance (CFDA 93.774) with Pennsylvania place-of-performance, across 240 awards. The page is a catalog-program × state join. It does not measure Pennsylvania’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 × Pennsylvania records $154,112,168,942.47 in USAspending obligations.
- 240 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $642 million per record, not a typical visit.
- Matching a CFDA to Pennsylvania is not causation.
- Report obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
The 93.774 and Pennsylvania filters together
Keep both keys in view. CFDA 93.774 is Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance. Pennsylvania (PA) is the geography tag. The product is $154,112,168,942.47 and 240 awards. Removing either key empties the cell. A Pennsylvania Medical Assistance (93.778) row is a different program. A 93.774 row tagged to New Jersey or Ohio is a different state. Hospital insurance (93.773) is a sibling catalog number, not this join.
Two hundred forty awards against $154,112,168,942.47 produces a mean of about $642,134,037 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 240 rows are modifications versus original awards.
Harrisburg did not “attract” $154,112,168,942.47 merely by being the state code, and CMS did not “award Pennsylvania” in a sense this join can prove. Matching program to state is not causation. The overlay Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania to other states on access or outcomes. CFDA 93.774 is the national hub without the Pennsylvania filter. This packet has no national total, so none is stated and none is inferred from the $154,112,168,942.47.
Trustees’ reports and CMS public-use files are other products. They are not the 240 USAspending.gov awards behind $154,112,168,942.47. Borrowing an enrollment number from those products and placing it next to this cell would invent a statistic this packet does not contain.
Pennsylvania spending beyond this one CFDA
Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-program state book. Pennsylvania programs is the catalog directory. $154,112,168,942.47 is one cell inside those views, not a substitute for them. A reader who quotes only this join as “federal health spending in Pennsylvania” has dropped every other CFDA that also hits the state.
Place-of-performance Pennsylvania 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 $154,112,168,942.47.
What the obligation label excludes
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $154,112,168,942.47 is the commitment figure on USAspending.gov. This page does not age the 240 awards into cash and does not treat the sum as money already in Pennsylvania providers’ accounts.
Commonwealth budget acts, the Department of Human Services ledger, and CMS claims extracts answer different questions. Mixing them with this join will misstate the $154,112,168,942.47. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.
Citation for the Pennsylvania SMI cell
Cite USAspending.gov: Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance (CFDA 93.774) obligated $154,112,168,942.47 on 240 awards coded to Pennsylvania. 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 240-award count. Prefer the overlay Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania SMI cell does not cross
This extract will not be used as a proxy for Pennsylvania’s uninsured rate, its Medicare Advantage penetration, or its physician supply. Those measures live in other files. The only numbers here are $154,112,168,942.47 and 240 awards for CFDA 93.774 with Pennsylvania 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 $154,112,168,942.47 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: Pennsylvania federal spending for the all-program book, Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania remains the live cell if dollars or the 240-award count move.
Questions
- How much Medicare SMI is obligated in Pennsylvania?
- USAspending.gov shows $154,112,168,942.47 in CFDA 93.774 obligations across 240 awards coded to Pennsylvania. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not the Commonwealth’s full federal total.
- What does the 240-award count mean?
- It is a row count, not an enrollee count. $154,112,168,942.47 ÷ 240 is about $642 million 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 ($154,112,168,942.47, 240 awards) and does not import CMS enrollment or Part B premium tables.
- Where is the live join?
- Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance in Pennsylvania is the overlay. See also Pennsylvania federal spending, Pennsylvania programs, CFDA 93.774, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot.
