The UFDS survey obtains data on sources of facility funding. Often, the information is not provided or the data appear imprecise. Approximately 89% of the 10,641 responding facilities reported information on their funding sources. The results presented in this section pertain to facilities that provided complete information about the amount and sources of their funding. Overall, treatment facilities that provided complete funding information reported more than six billion dollars in total funding for their most recent 12-month fiscal reporting period for which data were available. Of this total, 11% and 16% came from client payments and private health insurance, respectively. Medicare and Medicaid together accounted for 21% of the total revenue while local, State, Federal, and other public funds made up almost one-half of the total revenue. (Detailed Table 15).

Funding sources varied widely across States (Detailed Table 16). More than half (52%) of total revenue reported in Rhode Island came from client payments and private health insurance. In Indiana, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington, these sources constitute 40% or more of the total revenue. The lowest proportion of State funding from client payments and private health insurance was in Alaska (8%), followed by Hawaii and New Mexico (16%), Delaware and Texas (17%), and Mississippi (18%).
