Additional detail can be found in the explainer on Medicaid funding.
Since Medicaid funding is drawn from taxpayer resources, local trends in billing offer insights into how public health funding is distributed within communities.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” group covers a range of Medicaid-reimbursed services defined by care type and standardized HCPCS and CPT coding. For this report, billing codes were assigned to individual service groupings through established code prefixes and number ranges. This approach allows similar services to be grouped together for analysis without double counting, enabling reliable tracking and comparisons over time.
Despite growth in several categories, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) represented the seventh-largest group in Yuma by total Medicaid payments during 2024.
Statewide, this category placed second in Arizona by total Medicaid reimbursements in 2024.
Over the past five years leading to 2024, Medicaid claims under Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) grew by $5,370,173 in Yuma, reflecting a 214.5% rise. Some years saw acceleration in this increase, with sharp annual jumps notably recorded in 2020 and 2021.
Although spending in this category was distributed citywide, most payments were registered across just a few ZIP codes. In 2024, Medicaid payments included $6,722,989 for ZIP code 85364, $827,973 for 85365, and $322,355 for 85367. Combined, these 3 ZIP codes comprised 100% of the city’s Medicaid outlay for Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) that year.
Payments for Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) were highly concentrated among a handful of specific billing codes.
Comparatively, between 2023 and 2024, Medicaid spending for Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) in Yuma increased by 83% while all Medicaid claim types in the city climbed just 5% over the same period.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that joint federal-state Medicaid expenditure hit about $871.7 billion during fiscal 2023—about 18% of the U.S. national health expenditures—marking a substantial jump from approximately $613.5 billion in 2019, before the pandemic.
This expansion represents nearly 40% growth in just a few years, led largely by greater enrollment and utilization during and following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recent federal budget policies established under the Trump administration have put forward significant Medicaid spending reductions and system restructuring. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to trim federal Medicaid support by more than $1 trillion over a decade and includes features like work requirements and expanded cost-sharing, which could decrease coverage for certain individuals. The reforms are likely to increase state obligations for Medicaid while restraining federal spending growth, although the program remains a central source of health coverage for millions.
