Medicaid is a public health insurance program operated by the states with joint funding from both federal and state governments. It provides coverage to low-income individuals and families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, making it a major component of the U.S. health care system. For information about its funding, see this explanation.
Since taxpayer dollars support Medicaid, local billing changes highlight how a community’s public health care funds are distributed.
The “Evaluation and Management” category encompasses a range of Medicaid-billed services defined by the care type and standardized grouping of HCPCS and CPT codes. For this report, billing codes were grouped into a single service category based on consistent code ranges and prefixes, allowing for accurate tracking and rankings without double counting.
Evaluation and Management led all Medicaid service categories in total payments for Oneida in 2024, despite increases across multiple categories.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, total state and federal Medicaid spending reached about $871.7 billion during fiscal year 2023. This made up roughly 18% of overall national health expenditures, up sharply from about $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This increase marks approximately 40% growth in only a few years, largely due to expanded enrollment and higher use of services during and following the pandemic.
Federal budget measures enacted during the Trump administration brought notable proposals to scale back federal Medicaid spending and change the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is anticipated to cut more than $1 trillion over the next decade and add policies such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing that may limit coverage and reduce funding for certain beneficiaries. These actions are projected to shift additional costs onto states and slow the growth of federal Medicaid support, all as the program remains vital for millions of people.
