Medicaid is a state-managed public health insurance program funded jointly by federal and state governments. It provides coverage for low-income individuals and families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, making it a major segment of the U.S. health care system.

Because Medicaid draws on taxpayer funds, fluctuations in local billing indicate how public health resources are distributed in local communities.

The “Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method” group comprises Medicaid services identified by care type using standardized HCPCS and CPT coding. For this review, each code was assigned to one service category following consistent code prefixes and number ranges, so related services could be tracked without duplication, ensuring accurate historical rankings.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, nationwide Medicaid spending by federal and state sources reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up roughly 18% of all national health spending. This was a sharp increase compared with $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

This increase equals growth of about 40% in just a few years, primarily due to expanded program enrollment and greater service usage during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have included major proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funding and change program structure. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid funding by over $1 trillion in the next decade while introducing work requirements and increased cost-sharing that may reduce access and funding for certain groups. These policies could shift more responsibility to state governments and limit expansion of federal Medicaid support, even as program demand continues.
