Medicaid is a public health insurance program operated by states in partnership with the federal government, funded jointly by federal and state governments. The program provides coverage to low-income individuals, families, seniors, children and people with disabilities, making it one of the largest elements of the U.S. health care system.
Because Medicaid payments are supported by taxpayers, adjustments in local billing activity indicate how public health care spending is distributed within a community.
The “Medical And Surgical Supplies” category comprises Medicaid-billed services defined by its service type, following standardized HCPCS and CPT code classifications.

Recent legislation passed under the Trump administration featured significant proposals to decrease federal Medicaid funding and alter how the program operates. Specifically, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which became law in 2025, is projected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion in the next decade, implementing requirements including work mandates and increased cost-sharing that may reduce benefits and funds for some beneficiaries. These changes are set to shift more cost burden to states and potentially limit federal funding growth, even as Medicaid continues serving tens of millions across the country.
