Federal agency
Department of Health and Human Services
Health programs including Medicare/Medicaid administration and public health.
What this means
HHS oversees major health and human-services programs. In award data it often ranks near the top because of grants and contracts. In Treasury outlays, related spending may also appear under CMS or trust-fund lines. Award figures on The Ledger come from archived USAspending awarding-agency rollups (obligations). That is not the same as every dollar the agency outlays.
