Medicaid, a public health insurance program, is administered by the states and financed collaboratively by federal and state governments. It provides coverage to low-income residents, families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, placing it among the largest segments of the U.S. health care system.
As taxpayer-funded dollars support Medicaid payments, shifts in provider billing data illustrate how public health care resources circulate at the local level.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” category compiles a set of Medicaid-billed services defined by specific care types, relying on standard HCPCS and CPT code groupings. In analyzing this data, each billing code was categorized with a consistent set of prefixes and numeric designations so related services could be grouped while maintaining accurate annual comparisons and avoiding duplication.
While overall Medicaid spending grew among various service categories, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) placed second in Lauderhill for total Medicaid payment amounts in 2024.
Across Florida, the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) category topped all others for Medicaid payments during 2024.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, total state and federal Medicaid expenditures were about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, representing roughly 18% of total U.S. health care spending. This was a notable jump from approximately $613.5 billion in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This upward trend marks a growth of about 40% over just a few years, primarily due to increased enrollment and utilization during and following the pandemic.
Recent changes to federal budget policy under the Trump administration have included measures to reduce federal Medicaid funding and restructure certain program details. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by over $1 trillion in the coming decade and incorporates requirements such as work mandates and increased cost-sharing—changes that could affect both coverage and program funding. These alterations are likely to increase states’ financial responsibilities and may slow federal Medicaid growth even as the program continues to serve millions of people across the country.
