Richfield Medicaid providers charged $192,763 for services within the Medicine Services and Procedures category in 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database.

Medicaid is a public insurance program overseen by states with joint federal and state funding, according to federal data. The program covers low-income individuals, families, seniors, children and people with disabilities, and it represents a major segment of the U.S. health care system.
Changes in Medicaid billing levels reflect how community health care dollars—funded by taxpayers—are distributed locally.
The “Medicine Services and Procedures” classification includes a set of Medicaid services organized by care type, based on established HCPCS and CPT code groups. Each billing code was sorted into one service category using uniform prefixes and numeric ranges for consistent analysis, which helps group similar services and avoid double-counting, keeping rankings accurate over time.
Though Medicaid spending grew across multiple service areas, Medicine Services and Procedures placed third among all Medicaid payment categories in Richfield for 2024.
Statewide, however, Medicine Services and Procedures was the top Medicaid payments category in Utah in 2024.
From 2019 through 2024, Medicaid payments linked to Medicine Services and Procedures in Richfield rose by $89,543, or 86.7%. Notable annual increases occurred particularly in 2021 and 2022.
Although payments for these services spanned the city, most Medicaid funds were directed to just a few ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 84701 logged $192,763 in claims—equal to 100% of local payments for Medicine Services and Procedures that year.
A limited number of specific billing codes generated most Medicaid expenditures in this category.
For context, the 35.5% rise in Medicaid payments for Medicine Services and Procedures in Richfield between 2024 and 2023 exceeded the 15.2% increase seen for all local Medicaid claims over the same period.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal Medicaid spending reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, representing roughly 18% of total U.S. health expenditures, which is a significant jump from the $613.5 billion reported in 2019 before the onset of COVID-19.
This growth marks an increase of about 40% in just a few years, largely due to expanded eligibility and greater service use during and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget actions during the Trump administration included proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funding and rework the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is estimated to trim over $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending in the upcoming decade and adds policies like work requirements and increased cost-sharing that may limit coverage and financial support for some enrollees. These measures are expected to increase costs for states and constrain the overall growth of federal Medicaid contributions, even as millions continue to depend on the program.
