Medicaid, a health insurance program run by states and funded jointly by the federal and state governments, covers low-income individuals and families, seniors, children and people with disabilities. It is one of the largest components of the U.S. health care system.

Because Medicaid is funded by taxpayers, shifts in local billing levels illustrate how public health care dollars are distributed within a community.

The “Evaluation and Management” category comprises Medicaid-billed services defined by the type of care delivered, grouped using standardized HCPCS and CPT codes. In this analysis, codes were categorized to avoid double counting and to ensure services were grouped accurately, helping track changes and maintain consistent rankings over time.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid spending neared $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, or roughly 18% of total U.S. health expenditures, up from approximately $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

This change marks a nearly 40% increase in only a few years, attributed primarily to more enrollees and greater use of services during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget laws under the Trump administration included major proposals to trim federal Medicaid funding and change the program structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is set to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and brings in measures like work requirements and higher cost-sharing. These changes could lead to less coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries and are expected to create more costs for states, restricting future growth even as Medicaid continues to serve tens of millions across the U.S.
