Who Pays for What in Medicaid Essentially, the amount of money a state receives from their federal partner is determined by how much money the state itself spends.

The federal government matches the amount of money a state spends on its Medicaid program. The federal government matches the amount of money a state spends on its Medicaid program.

Federal Share v. State Share A statutory formula known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (or more commonly FMAP) determines for each state what share of a states Medicaid program is paid by the federal government and what is paid by the state. A statutory formula known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (or more commonly FMAP) determines for each state what share of a states Medicaid program is paid by the federal government and what is paid by the state.

FMAP: How It Is Calculated The FMAP is calculated by taking a rolling three-year average of a states per capita income. In theory, this is supposed to accurately capture the fiscal health of a state. The FMAP is calculated by taking a rolling three-year average of a states per capita income. In theory, this is supposed to accurately capture the fiscal health of a state.

FMAP: How Much Is It The average FMAP is 57%; that means for every 43 cents a state spends, the federal government sends the state 57 cents. The average FMAP is 57%; that means for every 43 cents a state spends, the federal government sends the state 57 cents. Mississippi has the highest FMAP at 76%. Mississippi has the highest FMAP at 76%. 12 states have the minimum FMAP of 50%.* 12 states have the minimum FMAP of 50%.* * 2006 Estimates from HHS

FMAP: How It Works Since the FMAP represents a states fiscal health, when a state is doing poorly economically, it should received increased funding from the federal government. When a state is doing better economically, it should receive less funding from the federal government. Since the FMAP represents a states fiscal health, when a state is doing poorly economically, it should received increased funding from the federal government. When a state is doing better economically, it should receive less funding from the federal government.

FMAP: 2006 Projections Current projections for 2006 show that 29 states will see FMAP decreases.* This is a reflection of improving economies over the past several years in those states.

Medicaid and the MMA One area where states will, eventually, not be paying for coverage is in drugs.
