Medicaid is a public insurance program managed by individual states and funded through a partnership of federal and state governments. It serves people with low incomes, families, seniors, children and individuals with disabilities, making it a key aspect of the American health care system.

Because taxpayer funds support Medicaid payments, shifts in local billing reflect how public health care resources are distributed across communities.

The “Evaluation and Management” group includes Medicaid-billed care based on the service provided, as determined by groupings within the standardized HCPCS and CPT code systems. For this report, each billing code was placed into a single service group using standard prefixes and numeric ranges, which enabled analysis of related services without overlap and ensured rankings remain consistent over time.

That spending made up about 18% of total U.S. health expenditures, a significant increase from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This jump represents nearly 40% growth in a short span, driven in large part by rising enrollment and higher use of health services during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget acts initiated under the Trump administration have introduced major proposals to scale back federal Medicaid funding and reorganize the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion in the coming decade. Policies such as new work requirements and higher cost-sharing are projected to affect some beneficiaries’ coverage and funding, putting more financial responsibility on states and slowing federal growth, while Medicaid continues to provide coverage to millions of Americans.
