Medicaid, a public health insurance initiative managed by states and financed by both federal and state governments, serves low-income individuals and families, older adults, children, and those with disabilities. The program represents one of the major segments in U.S. health care.
Because taxpayer revenue funds Medicaid payments, fluctuations in claims billed locally demonstrate the distribution of public health care spending within the community.
The “National Codes Established for State Medicaid Agencies” category refers to services billed to Medicaid that are defined according to specific care types, characterized by standardized HCPCS and CPT code sequences. For analysis purposes, individual service codes were placed into a single designated category using unified code groupings, ensuring associated services could be monitored together and preventing duplicate counting, while maintaining proper ranking accuracy throughout the years.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal Medicaid expenditures reached approximately $871.7 billion in the 2023 fiscal year. This spending represented about 18% of the country’s entire health care expenses, rising sharply from the roughly $613.5 billion reported in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This jump equates to about 40% growth within just a few years, primarily attributed to wider program enrollment and higher service usage during and following the pandemic.
Recent federal budget legislation passed under the Trump administration has featured major proposed reductions in Medicaid funding at the federal level and program restructuring. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is expected to remove more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid support over 10 years. It also introduces work requirements and additional cost-sharing provisions, measures that may decrease both funding and health insurance coverage for some groups. These changes are set to shift a greater share of costs to states, even as millions of Americans continue being covered by the program and as limits are placed on federal Medicaid funding growth.
