Medicaid, a public health insurance program administered by states and funded jointly by federal and state governments, serves low-income families and individuals, seniors, children, and people with disabilities. It stands as one of the largest components of the U.S. health care system.
Because taxpayer money funds Medicaid, shifts in local billing reflect how a community allocates public health care resources.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” category groups Medicaid-billed services according to care type, using standardized HCPCS and CPT code sets. For this analysis, each billing code was sorted into a service category by code prefixes and numeric ranges, permitting aggregated reporting while preventing duplication and sustaining historical ranking accuracy.

Federal budget legislation during the Trump administration introduced major proposals to decrease federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, enacted in 2025, is anticipated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade and brings in changes like work requirements and increased cost-sharing. These policy shifts could mean reduced coverage and funding for some beneficiaries, with a larger share of costs likely shifting to states while the program continues to cover tens of millions of Americans.
