Medicaid is a government-supported health insurance program managed by states and funded through both federal and state resources. It serves low-income groups, seniors, children and people with disabilities, playing a significant role in the U.S. health care landscape.

The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” group includes Medicaid billings tied to specific types of care, designated by HCPCS and CPT code standards. In this study, each billing code was consistently assigned to a service category by code prefixes and range, allowing for aggregate analysis, accurate comparisons, and to avoid duplicated counts.

Recent legislative action at the federal level under the Trump administration brought forward major proposals that reduce funding and introduce Medicaid program changes. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to cut federal Medicaid funding by over $1 trillion within the decade and includes measures like work requirements and higher cost-sharing, potentially diminishing both coverage and dollars available to some recipients. These changes are set to push more expenses onto states and may restrict federal Medicaid funding growth despite the increasing number of Americans relying on the program.
