Medicaid, the public health insurance program operated at the state level and funded through partnership between state and federal governments, covers low-income people, seniors, children and those with disabilities—making it one of the nation’s largest health programs.
Because taxpayer dollars fund Medicaid, shifts in local billing indicate changes in public health care spending at the community level.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” classification refers to a set of Medicaid services distinguished by type of care and based on standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. For this study, each code was mapped to one service category using consistent code prefixes and numeric ranges, so services were grouped without duplication and could be compared over time.
While Medicaid outlays rose in several service groups, spending for Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) was the second highest in Yazoo City during 2024.
On a statewide level in Mississippi, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) also ranked second in Medicaid payments for 2024.

Although these Medicaid expenditures were spread out across Yazoo City, most payments were associated with just a few ZIP codes.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, total Medicaid spending by federal and state governments hit approximately $871.7 billion for fiscal year 2023, representing roughly 18% of the nation’s health expenditures—up significantly from $613.5 billion in 2019, before the onset of COVID-19.
This surge reflects about 40% growth over several years, spurred mainly by increased enrollment and greater health care usage during and following the pandemic’s onset.
Recent federal budget laws from the Trump administration have included major proposals to cut federal Medicaid funding and overhaul the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is projected to remove more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid outlays in the coming decade, requiring work for some recipients and raising cost-sharing—steps that could reduce coverage and shift spending responsibility to the states even as millions rely on the program.
