About this program
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) distributes Formula Grants under CFDA 93.796 to reimburse state health agencies for Medicaid survey and certification activities, with the most recent awards issued October 1, 2020.
The program funds state-conducted surveys and inspections that verify whether health care providers and suppliers comply with federal regulatory health and safety standards and conditions of participation for Medicaid. States maintain surveyor time records, line-item expenditure documentation, and activity plans; CMS reimburses the federal share of approved survey costs through quarterly awards drawn via the Department's Payment Management System. Preapplication is required, and ongoing renewals flow to state agencies performing mandated survey work.
The portfolio consists entirely of Formula Grants (1,409 awards distributed since 2002), with combined federal dollars obligated at $2.05 billion. Award activity has declined from a peak of 192 per year in 2016 to 68–89 per year from 2018 onward. The most recent grant cycle (October 1, 2020) distributed FY 2021 entitlements across all fifty states and the District of Columbia, with awards ranging from $130,670 (Kansas Health) to $46.1 million (California). Representative recent awards included Illinois FY 2021 ($15.3 million), Washington FY 2021 ($11.7 million), Ohio FY 2021 ($11.6 million), and Michigan FY 2021 ($7.3 million federal share).
