Medicaid is a public health insurance program jointly funded by state and federal governments and operated by the states. It provides coverage for low-income people, seniors, children, and those with disabilities, making it a major component of the U.S. health care system.
Because Medicaid payments are funded by taxpayers, shifts in local billing levels signal how public health care dollars are distributed within a community.
The “Medicine Services and Procedures” category groups a range of Medicaid-billed services, classified by the type of care using standardized HCPCS and CPT code ranges. Each billing code was assigned to a single service category for analysis, using consistent prefixes and ranges to ensure related services are considered together without double counting, which helps maintain accurate rankings over time.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid spending totaled approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, making up about 18% of all national health expenditures. This was a sharp jump from roughly $613.5 billion in 2019, ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This increase reflects approximately 40% growth over just a few years, largely due to expanded enrollment and higher use of services during and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget measures during the Trump administration have introduced major proposals to lower federal Medicaid funding and change the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is expected to cut more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending over 10 years and adds policies such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which may reduce benefits and funding for some enrollees. These adjustments are projected to shift additional costs to states and curb federal Medicaid growth, even as the program continues to cover tens of millions of Americans.
