How the figures were made
USAspending records each Medicare payment in one county, so a few counties hold the Medicare amount of many states. The table is in order of the figure without the three Medicare assistance listings.
The population is the Census Bureau estimate of 2025. An award with a place of performance outside the states is not in the table.
The table shows activity: the amounts that agencies obligated. It does not grade a recipient, a place or an agency.
Source: USAspending.gov API v2. An obligation is a promise of the government to pay. It is not a payment.
A program makes this page from the USAspending files with fixed sentence rules. See how the atlas is made and the sources and licences.
In earlier editions
This table is in the edition of October 2026, the first edition. Each month adds an edition that keeps the first rows of the table as they were.
