The Medicaid program is funded by both State and Federal dollars. The Federal Government contributes 50% of the total Medicaid dollars, but for some services a higher federal match is contributed. Family planning services, for instance, are funded with 90% Federal dollars and the salaries of some Medicaid nursing staff who have direct patient medical contact are funded with 75% Federal dollars. To receive Federal Financial Participation (FFP), the program must comply with rules that are issued by the Federal Department of Health and Human services (DHSS) as Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations (42CFR), Chapter IV, Subchapter C.
