Medicaid, a public health insurance program, is managed by the states and funded jointly by federal and state governments. It serves low-income individuals and families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, and is among the major components of the U.S. health care system.

Because Medicaid funding is provided by taxpayers, shifts in local billing amounts show how public health care dollars are distributed in the area.

The “Medicine Services and Procedures” group consists of services billed to Medicaid according to the type of care, as classified under specific HCPCS and CPT code categories. For this report, each billing code was given one service category using consistent code prefixes and numbering, which enables related services to be analyzed together while preventing duplicate counting and ensuring accurate rankings across years.

Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have included major proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to trim federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade and introduces changes like work requirements and increased cost-sharing, potentially lowering coverage and funding for some participants. These moves are projected to shift more expense to states and slow the expansion of federal Medicaid assistance, even as the program continues to serve millions nationally.
