Medicaid is a state-administered public health insurance program funded jointly by federal and state governments. The program provides coverage to low-income individuals and families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities and is one of the largest segments of the U.S. health care system.
Because Medicaid spending is sourced from taxpayers, fluctuations in local billing demonstrate the allocation of public health care funding in different communities.
The “Procedures / Professional Services” group covers a subset of services billed to Medicaid, categorized by specific care types according to standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. For this analysis, each billing code was assigned to one service category based on consistent prefix and number ranges, helping aggregate similar services, prevent double counting, and maintain accurate category rankings across years.
Procedures / Professional Services was the third-highest Medicaid payment category in Belleville in 2024, a year that saw increased spending in several service areas.
Statewide in Pennsylvania, this category held the fifth largest total Medicaid payments in 2024.
Between 2019 and 2024, Medicaid payments for Procedures / Professional Services in Belleville increased by $3,904, with periods of accelerated growth and substantial year-over-year increases observed in 2023 and 2022.
Although claims in this category were generated across Belleville, most of the 2024 Medicaid payments for Procedures / Professional Services came from a small number of ZIP codes. ZIP code 17004 recorded $3,904, accounting for all Medicaid payments under this category in the city for the year.
Within the Procedures / Professional Services group, most Medicaid reimbursements were tied to only a few individual billing codes.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that combined federal and state Medicaid expenditures totaled about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, representing around 18% of all national health spending—a notable increase from approximately $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This escalation amounts to a roughly 40% rise within several years, largely attributed to higher enrollment and an uptick in service use during and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget measures enacted during the Trump administration include significant Medicaid funding reduction proposals and efforts to restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid expenditures by more than $1 trillion over the coming decade and brings new requirements such as employment stipulations and increased cost-sharing, potentially limiting coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries. These policy changes may increase states’ financial responsibilities and limit growth in federal Medicaid funding, even as the program continues to support tens of millions of Americans.
