Medicaid, a public health insurance initiative overseen by each state and financed with both federal and state funding, supports low-income families and individuals, seniors, children, and people living with disabilities. The program is one of the primary components of the U.S. health care system.

Because Medicaid is funded by taxpayers, local shifts in billing amounts demonstrate how public dollars are allocated to health care within a given area.

The “Medicine Services and Procedures” grouping includes a range of Medicaid-covered services as categorized by standardized HCPCS and CPT code clusters. For this review, each code was placed into a single service category based on assigned prefixes and number sets, which allows related services to be tracked together and provides accurate rankings while preventing duplicate counts over time.

This change marks roughly 40% growth over a few years, mostly due to broader enrollment and increased use through and after the pandemic period.

Recent federal budget measures from the Trump administration have included proposals to trim federal Medicaid funding and revise program structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and requires policies such as work mandates and increased cost-sharing, potentially limiting both coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries. These policy shifts are projected to move greater costs to states and further limit federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues to serve tens of millions nationwide.
