Medicaid, one of the nation’s largest health insurance programs, is administered by the states and funded by both federal and state governments. It serves low-income residents, including families, seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities.
Since Medicaid expenditures are funded by taxpayers, local billing fluctuations help show how community health care resources are distributed.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” category combines Medicaid-billed services defined by specific types of care, using standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. This analysis assigns each code to just one service category, applying consistent code prefixes and numeric ranges to maintain clear groupings, avoid overlap, and accurately track category trends.
While Medicaid spending increased across several service types, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) was the second largest category for Medicaid payments in Ridgeland in 2024.
Statewide, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) also ranked second in Mississippi for total Medicaid payments in 2024.
From 2019 to 2024, Medicaid payments in this Ridgeland category rose by $1,450,835, or 17.4%. Growth rates varied, with particularly strong year-over-year increases in 2023 and 2022.
Though these Medicaid payments were spread out across Ridgeland, a small number of ZIP codes saw the most significant spending. In 2024, ZIP code 39157 accounted for $6,885,790—100% of Medicaid payments in this category in Ridgeland that year.
Within the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) category itself, payment volume centered around a handful of billing codes.
Comparatively, Medicaid payments in this service category grew by 0.9% between 2024 and 2023, while overall Medicaid claim spending for all categories in Ridgeland rose by 6.3% during the same period.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid outlays reached approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, making up nearly 18% of total national health care expenditures. That’s a sharp increase from about $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This rise represents an increase of roughly 40% over several years, largely attributed to expanded program enrollment and higher service use during and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget measures enacted under the Trump administration included major efforts to reduce federal Medicaid funding and change the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” for example, enacted in 2025, is expected to cut over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending in the coming decade and introduces requirements such as work mandates and greater cost-sharing. These adjustments may decrease coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries, requiring states to bear a higher share of costs and slowing federal growth, even as the program continues to serve tens of millions.
