North Dakota Medicaid Spend Reconciliation

Every CMS-64 service category for FY2024, and how much of each appears in this claims dataset.

27%Moderate coverage

These claims represent 26.9% of North Dakota’s total Medicaid spending in FY2024, measured against the state’s own CMS-64 filing.

23% of enrollees are in comprehensive managed care, so most of their care is paid by capitation and never becomes a provider claim. The remainder is capitation, supplemental and DSH payments, Medicare premiums for dual eligibles, drug rebates and administration — none of which are claim-level. See the full reconciliation.

Services paid as provider claims. Coverage below 100% typically means part of the category is delivered through managed care, or billed with codes this dataset does not carry.

Read the category rows as indicative, not exact. The state total above is a like-for-like comparison and is sound. Individual rows are not, because the two columns are attributed differently: claims are categorised by billing code, while the CMS-64 is categorised by the authority the state pays under. A home visit billed under a 1915(c) waiver and the same visit billed under the state plan carry identical codes, so this dataset cannot tell them apart while North Dakota books them on different lines. That is why some rows exceed 100% while their neighbours sit near zero — it reflects where the state books the spending, not a discrepancy in the amount.

These are real spending — they are simply not paid as claims to providers, so no claims-based analysis will ever contain them. This is the bulk of the difference between the two figures above.

Service category	CMS-64 (state total)
Managed Care Capitation	$200,028,135
Medicare Premiums (Duals)	$24,902,613
Supplemental & DSH Payments	$6,106,551
Drug Rebates & Collections	-$103,345,333

The table adds up. The categories above sum to $1,403,466,725, which is North Dakota’s CMS-64 Total Net Expenditures for FY2024 exactly. Every line the state filed is accounted for in one of the two tables — nothing is dropped or double-counted.
