In 2024, Medicaid providers in Maumelle billed $103,336,473 for Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) services, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending data shows. That sum reflects a 28161.1% rise from 2023, when providers submitted $365,649 in claims for comparable services.

Medicaid, a public health insurance initiative operated by states and funded through federal and state collaboration, provides coverage to low-income individuals, families, older adults, children, and those with disabilities. It represents one of the largest components of the U.S. health care framework.

As Medicaid payments are funded by taxpayers, fluctuations in local billing levels indicate how public health care resources are distributed in a given community.

The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” group includes specific Medicaid-billed services defined by the care provided, organized using standard HCPCS and CPT code groupings. For this analysis, each billing code was classified under a single service category using established code prefixes and numeric ranges, enabling related services to be grouped together while avoiding duplicate counts and maintaining consistent rankings over time.

While Medicaid expenditures grew in several service categories, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) saw the highest total Medicaid payments in Maumelle for 2024.

Statewide, the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) category placed fourth among all service categories by total Medicaid payments in Arkansas in 2024.

Over the five-year period leading to 2024, Medicaid payments for Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) in Maumelle increased by $103,336,473, equating to 0% growth. Certain years, such as 2021 and 2022, saw particularly strong year-over-year increases.

Spending on Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) services was distributed throughout Maumelle, but primarily concentrated in a small number of ZIP codes. In 2024, the 72113 ZIP code accounted for $103,336,472 in payments. Altogether, the single leading ZIP code made up 100% of all Medicaid payments for this category in the city that year.

Medicaid payments within the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group were also focused among a select subset of individual billing codes.

Comparatively, Medicaid payments for the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) category in Maumelle climbed by 28161.1% from 2023 to 2024. That contrasts with a 130.2% shift across all Medicaid claim categories in Maumelle over the same span.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data indicates joint federal and state Medicaid outlays reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up an estimated 18% of national health expenditures. That reflects a significant rise from around $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This surge amounts to nearly 40% growth within a few years, caused primarily by expanded enrollment and greater use during and after the pandemic period.

Recent federal budget measures under the Trump administration have included notable plans to decrease federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. As an example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is projected to cut over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid outlays over the next decade and brings in policies like work requirements and increased cost-sharing. These changes could reduce coverage and funding for some beneficiaries, while shifting more responsibility to the states and restricting the growth of federal Medicaid contributions, even as the program continues to serve millions nationwide.
