Medicaid, a public insurance program managed by states and funded jointly by federal and state governments, covers low-income people, children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. It remains one of the largest components of the U.S. health care system.

The “National Codes Established for State Medicaid Agencies” group consists of a range of Medicaid-billed services defined by care type, built on standardized HCPCS and CPT code sets.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal Medicaid expenditures reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up roughly 18% of national health spending, and up sharply from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recent federal budget laws passed during the Trump administration have featured significant proposals for scaling back federal Medicaid funding and restructuring the system. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is estimated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and includes measures such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could lower coverage and funding for certain recipients. These adjustments are anticipated to move additional costs to states and to restrict the growth of federal Medicaid funding, even as the program continues to assist tens of millions of Americans.
