Illinois Medicaid payments reached $44,675,804 in 2024 for services registered within the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) category, data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database shows. This was a 73.6% jump over 2023, when $25,734,557 in claims were submitted by providers for these services.
Medicaid is a state-run public insurance program jointly financed by state and federal funds. It serves low-income people and families, seniors, children and those with disabilities, making it a major component of the nation’s health care system.
Since Medicaid is funded by taxpayer dollars, variations in local claims levels indicate how public resources for health care are directional within specific communities.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” group includes Medicaid-charged services identified by care type using standard HCPCS and CPT code classifications. For this analysis, every billing code has been matched to a single service group by code prefix and numeric range, allowing related care patterns to be tracked and ranked over time without redundancies.
As relevant, categories can group more than one type of underlying service. These categories represent collections of related care that are commonly Medicaid-billed together, spanning office visits, testing and therapy procedures.
Over the five years preceding 2024, Medicaid payments associated with the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group in Illinois rose by $16,868,231, or 60.7%. Some intervals saw accelerated growth, with marked increases in 2022 and 2023.
Although this spending was dispersed across the state, it was heavily concentrated in certain ZIP codes. In 2024, the largest Medicaid payments for this category were reported in ZIP Code 60030 ($17,092,710; 38.3% of the total), ZIP Code 60602 ($5,565,977; 12.5%), and ZIP Code 60629 ($1,257,422; 2.8%).
Together, those three ZIP codes comprised 53.5% of Illinois Medicaid spending linked to the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group during the year.
For context, total Medicaid payments statewide across all claim categories rose 8.6% from 2023 to 2024.
Despite increased spending in multiple categories, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) ranked among Illinois’ top eight service groups by Medicaid outlays in 2024.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, joint federal and state Medicaid expenditures hit about $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023—close to 18% of the nation’s total health spending. That is up sharply from roughly $613.5 billion in 2019 before the COVID-19 crisis.
This increase, about 40%, reflects swelling enrollment and higher usage during and in the wake of the pandemic.
Federal budget laws enacted under the Trump administration introduced large changes to future Medicaid financing. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to cut more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending over 10 years and create new policies around work requirements and cost sharing—measures that could trim coverage and federal aid for some recipients. These changes may escalate state financial burdens and limit federal support, despite Medicaid continuing to insure tens of millions nationwide.
