Medicaid is a public health insurance initiative overseen by states and funded in partnership by federal and state governments. The program supports individuals and families with low incomes, as well as seniors, children and people with disabilities, making it a major component of the U.S. health system.

Because Medicaid is funded by taxpayers, changes in local billing patterns illustrate how public health funds are distributed in communities.

The “Evaluation and Management” designation covers a set of Medicaid-billed services defined by the nature of care, using standardized HCPCS and CPT coding groupings. In this analysis, every billing code was categorized under a specific service type according to consistent code prefixes and numerical ranges, ensuring related services are considered together while avoiding duplicate counts and maintaining accurate rankings across years.

Medicaid expenditures climbed in several service groups, but Evaluation and Management was the leading category in Hyde Park for total payments in 2024.

Statewide in Utah, Evaluation and Management placed third by total Medicaid payouts in 2024.

Although care in the Evaluation and Management category was delivered throughout the city, payment distribution was concentrated in a small number of ZIP codes.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data shows that combined federal and state Medicaid spending totaled approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up about 18% of national health expenditures. That’s an increase from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This equates to about a 40% growth in a few years, primarily due to higher enrollment and greater utilization during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget laws under the Trump administration include notable proposals to scale back federal Medicaid funding and restructure how the program operates. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is projected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next decade. The legislation enacts new work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could decrease coverage and federal support for some recipients, while shifting increased costs to states.
