Medicaid is a state-administered public health insurance program funded jointly by federal and state governments. The program offers coverage for low-income individuals and families, older adults, children, and people with disabilities, placing it among the largest segments of the U.S. health care system.
Since Medicaid financing comes from taxpayers, changes in local billing volumes reflect how public health care funding is distributed in a given area.
The “Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment” service grouping is defined by standardized sets of HCPCS and CPT billing codes and describes services based on the type of care provided. Each billing code was assigned to one category using set code prefixes and ranges, which enables related services to be combined for analysis while preventing duplicate counts and maintaining comparability over time.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal Medicaid expenditures reached approximately $871.7 billion during fiscal year 2023. This represented about 18% of all national health care spending, up from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This represents funding growth of about 40% within several years, largely driven by increased enrollment and utilization during and following the pandemic period.
Recent federal budget legislation adopted in the Trump administration included major proposals to scale back federal contributions to Medicaid and revise the structure of the program. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is forecast to reduce more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid expenditures in the coming decade and implements measures such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing. These policies are expected to decrease access to funding and limit expansion of federal Medicaid support, even as Medicaid continues to cover tens of millions of Americans.
