2023 saw the largest expenditures on Medicaid in U.S. history. At that time about 894 billion U.S. dollars were expended on the Medicaid public health insurance program that aims to provide affordable health care options to low income residents and people with disabilities. Medicaid was signed into law in 1965. By 1975 around 13 billion U.S. dollars were spent on the program. Groups covered by Medicaid There are several components of the Medicaid health insurance program. The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) was started in 1997 to provide health coverage to families and children that could not afford care. As of 2021, children represented the largest distribution of Medicaid enrollees. Despite having the largest proportion of enrollees, those that were enrolled in Medicaid as children had the lowest spending per enrollee. As of 2021, disabled Medicaid enrollees had the highest spending per enrollee. Medicaid expenditures Currently, Medicaid accounts for 19 percent of all health care expenditure in the United States. Expenditures on Medicaid programs vary among the U.S. states and depend heavily on whether Medicaid expansion was accepted after the Affordable Care Act was enacted. California and New York are the top states with the highest Medicaid expenditures. It is projected that Medicaid expenditure will continue to increase at both the state and federal levels.
In 2022, Medicaid expenditure totaled around 805 billion U.S. dollars, the highest in the provided time interval. The federal government paid approximately 70 percent of total Medicaid expenditures in 2022, with states picking up the other 30 percent. Medicaid’s high-cost enrollees Spending on aged enrollees and individuals with disabilities accounted for more than half of the total Medicaid expenditure in 2021. One reason why this share is so high is that these groups require greater health care, and often the services are more costly. Spending on long-term care services, which includes nursing facilities and home health care, totaled approximately 154 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. Overall, long-term care services accounted for around 20 percent of all Medicaid expenditure in 2022. The basics of Medicaid funding Medicaid is a joint federal and state health care plan, and the costs of administering the program are split between the two. States report their Medicaid costs to the federal government on a quarterly basis, and the federal government matches those costs based on a formula. This formula is designed so that the federal government pays a larger share of costs in poorer states, but in general, state costs are matched by the federal government at a 50 percent rate. California was the state with the highest Medicaid costs in 2022.

Graph and download economic data for Personal current transfer receipts: Government social benefits to persons: Medicaid (W729RC1) from Jan 1966 to May 2025 about social assistance, benefits, government, personal, and USA.
Total Medicaid spending surpassed 804 billion U.S. dollars in 2022. The state of California had the highest expenditure throughout the year, followed by New York and Texas.
Federal government helps poorer states Both the federal and state governments fund the Medicaid health care program, but at least 50 percent of the costs incurred by states are matched by the federal government. The exact percentage varies by state because the matching rate was designed so that poorer states receive a larger share of program costs from the federal government. The states of Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, spent the least on Medicaid costs in 2021.
Funding share of states set to increase Under the Affordable Care Act, states have the choice to expand their Medicaid programs to cover nearly all low-income Americans under age 65. For states that implemented the expansion, the federal government paid 100 percent of the state costs for all newly eligible adults from 2014 to 2016. The new matching rate has slowly declined since and reached 90 percent in 2020, which means states have to pick up ten percent of the bill. Governors are concerned about the rise in costs, and state expenditure is projected to increase by 50 percent between 2020 and 2027.

Medicaid spent approximately *** billion U.S. dollars on long-term care services in 2023, which was an increase on the previous year. **********, ********, and ********* were the states with the highest long-term care expenditures. States support home- and community-based care Combined spending on nursing care facilities, home health care, and other health care made up roughly one-third of Medicaid’s total costs in 2019. Other health care costs include home- and community-based waiver programs that allow people to receive long-term care at home or in their community. Nearly all states offer the waivers, which can substantially reduce expenditures for Medicaid enrollees who would otherwise have to enter a long-term institutional service, such as a nursing home. In recent decades, the distribution of Medicaid’s long-term care services expenditures has shifted toward home- and community-based care. The costs of in-home care are rising Long-term care expenditures vary depending on the setting, location, and level of care required. In 2020, the annual median cost of long-term care in the United States ranged from ****** U.S. dollars for adult day health care services to ******* U.S. dollars for a private room in a nursing home. In general, the costs of nursing home facilities were considerably higher than those for home care and community living options. However, in-home care reported the highest year-on-year cost increases, and growing demand for the services has led to a rise in spending on home health care over recent years.

Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCU or Unit) investigate and prosecute Medicaid fraud as well as patient abuse and neglect in health care facilities. OIG certifies, and annually recertifies, each MFCU. OIG collects information about MFCU operations and assesses whether they comply with statutes, regulations, and OIG policy. OIG also analyzes MFCU performance based on 12 published performance standards and recommends program improvements where appropriate.
This dataset tracks the updates made on the dataset "Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCU) Annual Spending and Performance Statistics" as a repository for previous versions of the data and metadata.

Increasing Medicare coverage
Medicare is the federal health insurance program in the U.S. for the elderly and those with disabilities. In the U.S., the share of the population with any type of health insurance has increased to over 90 percent in the past decade. As of 2019, approximately 18 percent of the U.S. population was covered by Medicare in particular.
Increasing Medicare costs
Medicare costs are forecasted to continue increasing over time, with outlays rising to a predicted 1.78 trillion U.S. dollars by 2031 as the population continues to age. Certain diseases of old age, such as Alzheimer’s disease, are increasing in prevalence in the U.S., which will reflect on healthcare costs for the elderly. In 2021, Alzheimer's disease was estimated to cost Medicare and Medicaid around 239 billion U.S. dollars in care costs; by 2050, this number is projected to climb to 798 billion dollars.
