Medicaid is a state-run public health insurance program that receives joint funding from federal and state governments. It serves low-income populations, including individuals and families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, and makes up a significant component of the U.S. health care system. More information on Medicaid funding is available at the Commonwealth Fund.

Because Medicaid dollars represent taxpayer resources, local billing trends provide insight into how communities allocate public health care funding.

The “National Codes Established for State Medicaid Agencies” designation comprises a set of Medicaid-billed services grouped by care type, based on standardized HCPCS and CPT coding. For this review, each relevant billing code was classified under a unique service grouping by using consistent code ranges and prefixes, with the approach intended to assess related care together discreetly and rank trends while avoiding double counting.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal spending on Medicaid hit approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, or around 18% of national health expenditures. That represents a significant jump from roughly $613.5 billion in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The increase amounts to a growth of about 40% within several years, attributed mainly to broader enrollment and elevated use during the pandemic period and its aftermath.

New federal budget laws under the Trump administration have brought large proposed reductions in federal Medicaid contributions and overhauls to the program’s structure. One example is the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which passed in 2025 and is expected to trim more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid over 10 years, while introducing new requirements and increased cost sharing. These policy changes are projected to shift more responsibility to states and slow federal Medicaid growth, although the program continues to support many millions of Americans.
