Medicaid is a public health insurance program administered by states and financed jointly by federal and state governments. Covering low-income individuals, families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, it is one of the largest components of the U.S. health system.
Because taxpayer funds underlie Medicaid reimbursements, shifts in local billing volumes shed light on how public health care money is distributed within communities.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” category includes selected Medicaid-billed services, organized using standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. In this analysis, all billing codes were assigned to a single service category, using consistent code prefixes and numeric ranges so that related services could be tracked as a group without double counting. This approach maintains accurate rankings over time.
Although Medicaid spending rose across a number of categories, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) was the fifth-highest Medicaid payment category in Hampton in 2024.
Statewide in Virginia, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) also ranked fifth in terms of total Medicaid payments in 2024.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal Medicaid expenditures totaled about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up around 18% of all national health spending. This was a substantial increase from approximately $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This growth amounts to an approximate 40% rise over just a few years, largely due to increased enrollment and greater service use during and following the pandemic period.
Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration involved significant proposals for reduced federal Medicaid support and program restructuring. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion over the next 10 years and establishes new requirements, including work mandates and additional cost-sharing. These policies may result in decreased coverage and greater state responsibility for funding, despite Medicaid continuing to serve millions nationwide.
