The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” service class includes Medicaid-billed services categorized by their code groups, using standard HCPCS and CPT numerical frameworks. For this report, each billing code was mapped to a single service grouping using set code sequences, ensuring related services were analyzed together but counted only once, supporting accurate rankings across years.

While multiple service groupings experienced growth, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) showed the highest overall Medicaid payments in Oak Point in 2024.

Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) also ranked as the leading Medicaid payment category statewide in Texas for 2024.

Recent federal budget laws passed under the Trump administration have included proposals that would lower federal Medicaid spending and change the program’s framework. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” approved in 2025, is expected to cut federal Medicaid funding by over $1 trillion over 10 years, while introducing work requirements and higher out-of-pocket costs, potentially reducing coverage and shifting more of the cost burden onto states.
