Medicaid is a state-administered, federally and state-funded health insurance program serving low-income individuals and families as well as seniors, children, and people with disabilities. It stands as one of the primary components of the U.S. health care landscape.

Because Medicaid dollars come directly from taxpayers, trends in community billing measure how public health care resources are distributed locally.

The Medicine Services and Procedures grouping represents a set of Medicaid-eligible services identified by types of care using standardized HCPCS and CPT categories. For this report, each code is assigned to a single service category aligning similar services and avoiding double counting, so annual payment trends and rankings accurately reflect changes over time.

While Medicaid outlays went up across a range of service groupings, Medicine Services and Procedures was the third-largest Medicaid spending category in Bloomfield in 2024.

Statewide in Indiana, Medicine Services and Procedures placed second by total Medicaid amounts paid in 2024.

Across the five years ending in 2024, Bloomfield’s Medicaid expenditures in this category rose by $28,168, or 96.9%. Growth quickened in certain years, with notably larger jumps recorded in 2021 and 2022.

Payments for Medicine Services and Procedures were made citywide, though amounts were focused in just a small number of ZIP codes. The highest payments came from ZIP code 47424, which made up the total $57,242 spent—contributing 100% of Medicaid claims in this group for Bloomfield for the year.

Medicaid outlays associated with Medicine Services and Procedures in Bloomfield rose by 17.6% between 2024 and 2023, while overall Medicaid claims for all categories in the city increased by 17.8% during the same timeframe.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that combined federal and state Medicaid expenditures hit about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up approximately 18% of national health spending—a significant rise from $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $258 billion climb, nearly 40%, was largely driven by expanded enrollment and increased use of services both during and after the pandemic.

Bills passed during the Trump administration included major efforts to decrease federal Medicaid contributions and overhaul the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is estimated to roll back over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid support over the next decade, introducing new work stipulations and greater cost-sharing, potentially shrinking coverage and funding for select recipients. These measures are expected to shift further costs to states and curtail the growth of federal Medicaid investment even as it remains critical for tens of millions across the country.
