Medicaid, a state-administered public health insurance program funded through both federal and state contributions, provides coverage for low-income people and families, seniors, children and individuals with disabilities. The program is a major component of the U.S. health care system.

Because taxpayer funding underpins Medicaid payments, shifts in billing levels reflect how health care dollars are spent within the local community.

The “Medicine Services and Procedures” classification includes services outlined by specific care type as defined in established HCPCS and CPT code groupings. For analysis purposes, every billing code was assigned to a particular service group using standard code prefixes and ranges. This approach enables examination of related services together, ensuring accuracy in rankings and avoiding duplication over time.

While Medicaid expenditures were up across several categories, Medicine Services and Procedures stood as the fourth-largest Medicaid payment group in Cicero in 2024.

Even though Medicine Services and Procedures spending was distributed throughout Cicero, much of the funding originated from a small number of ZIP codes.

Data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services show that combined federal and state Medicaid spending reached approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, making up around 18% of all U.S. health expenditures. This represents a steep increase from about $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This growth reflects an 40% uptick within a few years, largely attributed to a rise in enrollment and higher use stemming from the pandemic period and its aftermath.

Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have featured major proposals aiming to curtail federal funding for Medicaid and restructure the platform. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is estimated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion in the coming decade. The legislation introduces changes such as work mandates and increased cost-sharing, both of which may reduce access and support for some enrollees. These adjustments are likely to shift more Medicaid costs to states and restrain federal funding growth, even as program demand remains high among millions of Americans.
