Medicaid is a state-administered public health insurance program funded by a combination of federal and state dollars. The program assists low-income groups, seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities, making it a foundational element in U.S. health care.

Since Medicaid’s funding is drawn from taxpayers, fluctuations in local billing signal how health care resources are distributed in specific communities.

The “National Codes Established for State Medicaid Agencies” group covers a range of Medicaid-billed services designated by specific care types, with identification based on standardized HCPCS and CPT code clusters. For this analysis, one service category was assigned per billing code according to uniform code prefixes and ranges, enabling a clearer overview of related services while preventing duplicate counts and supporting precise ranking trends over time.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, total Medicaid spending from federal and state sources reached nearly $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023—roughly 18% of all national health spending—up from $613.5 billion in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.

This reflects an increase of about 40%, due mainly to more people enrolling and greater service use during and following the pandemic period.

Previous federal budget laws under the Trump administration proposed major reductions to federal Medicaid funds and reforms to the program’s structure. One example is the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, which is projected to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by $1 trillion over 10 years and includes changes like employment requirements and higher out-of-pocket costs, with the potential to reduce both coverage and funding for certain groups. These updated policies could place a larger cost burden on states and slow the growth of federal assistance, while Medicaid enrollment remains high among Americans.
