Medicaid, a state-managed program jointly funded by federal and state governments, offers health coverage for low-income individuals, seniors, children and people with disabilities. It stands as one of the U.S. health care system’s largest components.
Because Medicaid draws on taxpayer funding, variation in local payments provides insight into the distribution of public health resources in different areas.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” category recognizes a specific set of Medicaid-billed services based on the provided care, defined with standard HCPCS and CPT groupings. For this report, billing codes were mapped to one category using consistent code prefixes and ranges—helping prevent double counting and ensuring year-to-year data comparability.
Even though Medicaid payments rose in several service groups, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) represented the second-largest Medicaid payment category by amount in Plant City during 2024.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid outlays reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up nearly 18% of overall national health spending. That figure marked a significant jump from about $613.5 billion in 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This nearly 40% growth came as Medicaid expended higher benefits due chiefly to expanded enrollment and service use during and following the pandemic.
Recent federal budget changes under the Trump administration incorporated major plans to lessen federal Medicaid contributions and adjust the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which became law in 2025, is projected to produce over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid cuts in the coming decade and sets new rules such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing. Such measures could lessen federal funding and Medicaid coverage for some enrollees, shifting more expenses to states even though the program covers tens of millions of Americans.
