Greenville Medicaid providers submitted $3,429,556 in claims for services falling under the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group in 2024, as reported in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database. This figure shows a 17% gain compared to 2023, when the same codes were billed at $2,932,236.
Medicaid, a public insurance initiative, is managed by states and supported through joint federal and state contributions. It primarily assists low-income people, seniors, children, and those living with disabilities, making the program a substantial part of the U.S. health care landscape.
As Medicaid is funded by taxpayers, shifts in how providers bill locally reflect changes in how communities direct public health care funding.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” grouping includes a selection of Medicaid-billed services sorted by care type, based on standardized HCPCS and CPT code families. The analysis classifies each billing code into a single service category using regularly applied code structures and ranges, bringing similar services together, minimizing overlap, and enabling accurate ranking trends over time.
While Medicaid spending rose in various service areas, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) stood as third highest for total Medicaid payments in Greenville for 2024.
Statewide in Mississippi, the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group held the No. 2 spot for overall Medicaid payments for 2024.
During the five years preceding 2024, Medicaid allocations for the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group in Greenville climbed by $167,097—or 5.1%. This growth accelerated at certain points, with sizable increases reported from one year to the next, particularly throughout 2022 and 2023.
Distribution of Medicaid payments in the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group was mostly focused in just a handful of ZIP codes in Greenville. In 2024, ZIP code 38701 accounted for $2,336,013, with 38703 making up $1,093,542, so these two ZIP codes combined attributed to all Medicaid payments in this group citywide for the year.
A narrow group of individual billing codes received most of the Medicaid money within the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) classification.
To compare, Greenville saw a 17% jump in Medicaid payments for this group between 2024 and 2023, much higher than the 0.5% change observed across all Medicaid claim categories in the city during that window.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that combined federal and state Medicaid outlays reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, comprising roughly 18% of national health expenditures and surging from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic.
This increase signals close to 40% growth over several years, prompted mainly by expanded Medicaid rolls and more frequent care utilization during and following pandemic years.
Federal budget and appropriations measures during the Trump administration featured proposals to limit federal Medicaid outlays and revise the structure of the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to trim federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion in the next decade, rolling in policies such as work mandates and higher cost sharing, which could lower benefits and funding for certain enrollees. As a result, more financial responsibility is projected to shift to state budgets, dampening growth in federal Medicaid funding, though the program is still set to cover tens of millions nationally.
