Because taxpayer funds support Medicaid payments, shifts in local billing amounts reveal how public health spending is distributed throughout a community.

The “Medicine Services and Procedures” group involves a range of Medicaid-covered services categorized by care type, determined through standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings.

That accounted for close to 18% of all national health expenditures and was up sharply from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration have included major plans to reduce federal Medicaid funding and alter the program. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is projected to trim over $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending over a decade. It also brings in policies such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing that may reduce some beneficiaries’ coverage and funding. These measures could shift additional costs to states and slow future federal Medicaid spending growth, even as the program continues to help tens of millions of people.
