Medicaid, a public health insurance program, is administered by the states and financed through a partnership between federal and state governments. The program covers low-income people, seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities, contributing significantly to the U.S. health care system.

Because Medicaid is funded by taxpayers, shifts in local billing provide insight into community allocation of public health dollars.

The Evaluation and Management category encompasses a variety of Medicaid services defined by the nature of care provided, using standardized HCPCS and CPT code sets. Each code for this analysis was classified into a specific service category according to consistent code prefixes and number ranges, supporting an accurate review of related services and ranked spending over years.

Though Medicaid spending rose in several categories, Evaluation and Management had the largest total in Leupp during 2024.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, together, federal and state Medicaid spending totaled about $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023. This represented roughly 18% of total U.S. health expenditures and was a marked increase from $613.5 billion reported in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This represents about 40% growth in only a few years, spurred mainly by expanded enrollment and increased service use during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget legislation signed under the Trump administration introduced major changes affecting Medicaid. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” became law in 2025. It is estimated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion across the next decade and adds provisions like work requirements and greater cost-sharing by some beneficiaries. As a result, states are expected to assume additional costs while federal Medicaid funding growth slows, although the program will continue serving tens of millions nationwide.
