With regard to the Medicaid program in the United States, it can correctly be stated...

The federal government provides none of the funding for state Medicaid programs

Federal Medicaid law is different from Medicare law in that the federal government explicitly sets forth the methodology for payment of Medicaid-contracting plans but not Medicare-contracting plans

A state's payment to health plans for providing Medicaid services cannot be more than it would have cost the state to provide the services under Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS)

States are prohibited from carving out specific services from the capitation rate that health plans receive for providing Medicaid services
