Medicaid, operated on a state level and funded by both federal and state governments, provides health coverage for low-income populations including individuals, families, seniors, children, and those with disabilities, making it one of the foundational elements of the U.S. health care system.
Since Medicaid funds are sourced from taxpayers, changes in local billing help show how health care dollars are distributed within a city or community.
The “National Codes Established for State Medicaid Agencies” designation refers to Medicaid-billed services classified by the nature of care, grouped through standardized HCPCS and CPT code prefixes and numerical ranges.

This substantial increase—about 40% over the span of several years—was fueled in large part by wider enrollment and more intensive utilization during and following the pandemic.
Recent federal budget legislation under the Trump administration included notable measures aimed at reducing Medicaid funding and changing its framework. Notably, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is expected to trim federal Medicaid expenditures by more than $1 trillion through the next decade, introducing work requirements and higher cost-sharing obligations that may lower both eligibility and funding for some groups. These legislative changes are projected to shift more financial responsibility to states and slow projected federal Medicaid growth, although the program continues to serve tens of millions nationwide.
