Medicaid, a public health insurance program managed by states and supported by both federal and state governments, provides coverage to low-income people, seniors, children, and those with disabilities, making it among the largest components of the U.S. health system.
Because taxpayer funds support Medicaid, shifts in local billing illustrate the distribution of public health care resources in a community.
The Medicine Services and Procedures classification covers a suite of Medicaid-billed services according to standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. In this analysis, each billing code falls into a single service category using uniform code prefixes and number ranges, enabling accurate grouping, minimizing double-counting, and maintaining consistent ranking over time.
While Medicaid outlays rose in several service categories, Medicine Services and Procedures was the highest by total Medicaid payments in Levittown for 2024.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that combined federal and state Medicaid expenditures rose to about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, or roughly 18% of total national health costs, a sharp increase from $613.5 billion reported for 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This increase amounts to approximately 40% growth over just several years, due primarily to enrollment expansion and higher service use during and after the pandemic period.
Recent federal budget laws enacted during the Trump administration include major proposals to cut federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by over $1 trillion in the next decade and introduces policies such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing that could impact coverage and funding for some recipients. These adjustments are projected to shift more costs to states and constrain increases in federal Medicaid funding, even as the program continues to cover tens of millions in the U.S.
