Medicaid, a state-run program primarily funded by both federal and state governments, serves low-income residents, seniors, children and people with disabilities, making it a major component of the U.S. health care system.

As taxpayer dollars support Medicaid payments, variations in local billing demonstrate how health care funds are distributed in the community.

The “Enteral and Parenteral Therapy” classification groups together Medicaid-billed treatments identified by their specific care type, using standardized HCPCS and CPT code categories. To conduct this analysis, each billing code was linked to one service group with uniform code identifiers and numeric spans, enabling related services to be reviewed together, preventing duplications, and allowing for consistent comparison of rankings over time.

Medicaid expenditures climbed across several categories, with Enteral and Parenteral Therapy ranking as Logan’s second-highest by total Medicaid payments in 2024.

Statewide in Utah, Enteral and Parenteral Therapy placed 14th among all categories by aggregate Medicaid payments in 2024.

Although these services were available throughout the city, most Medicaid payments were centered in a small number of ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 84321 accounted for $851,894 in payments, representing 100% of all Medicaid spending for Enteral and Parenteral Therapy in Logan for the year.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that combined federal and state Medicaid spending totaled approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, or about 18% of all national health expenditures. That figure is a sharp increase from around $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

That change reflects a roughly 40% increase in just a few years, fueled mainly by expanded eligibility and increased service use throughout the pandemic and its aftermath.

Federal budget actions during the Trump administration have featured major proposals to decrease federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. Notably, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid support by over $1 trillion through the next decade and brings policies such as work requirements and more cost-sharing, which could limit coverage and funding for certain groups. These changes are expected to assign greater cost responsibility to states and constrain the growth of federal Medicaid funds, while the program continues to provide for tens of millions of people in the U.S.
