Medicaid, the publicly funded health insurance program overseen by the states and financed by both federal and state governments, provides coverage for low-income people and families, seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities. It remains one of the largest sectors of the U.S. health care system.

Since taxpayer dollars support Medicaid payments, shifts in local spending reflect how public health care resources are used within a community.

The “Medicine Services and Procedures” group includes Medicaid-billed services categorized by type of care, organized using standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. For this report, each billing code was grouped into a single service category using consistent code prefixes and numerical ranges. This approach lets researchers examine related services together, avoid duplication, and ensure valid rankings over time.

Recent federal legislative changes during the Trump administration have featured significant proposals to shrink federal Medicaid funding and modify how the program operates. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, aims to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by over $1 trillion over ten years and brings in new policies like work requirements and higher cost-sharing. Such measures could lower both beneficiary coverage and federal support, increasing states’ share of program costs even as Medicaid continues serving tens of millions.
