Medicaid operates as a public health insurance initiative managed by states with combined funding from federal and state governments. It serves low-income families and individuals, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, making it one of the country’s largest health care programs.

Because taxpayer dollars fund Medicaid payments, shifts in local billing reflect how community health care resources are distributed.

The “Enteral and Parenteral Therapy” grouping covers a set of Medicaid-billed services defined by the type of care, organized by standardized HCPCS and CPT code clusters. For this reporting, each billing code was assigned to a single category based on consistent prefixes and numeric sequences. This allowed services to be grouped for comparison and ensured accurate rankings while avoiding duplicate counting.

Among Medicaid service categories, Enteral and Parenteral Therapy led Beaverton in total payment amount for 2024.

Statewide, this category ranked 15th in Oregon by total Medicaid payments in 2024.

While payments for services in this category were distributed across Beaverton, most charges were concentrated in a few ZIP codes. For 2024, ZIP code 97008 accounted for the entire $4,950,030, meaning the top ZIP code represented 100% of Medicaid payments in this category for the city during the year.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal Medicaid spending reached roughly $871.7 billion for fiscal year 2023, about 18% of nationwide health expenditures. That figure sharply increased from approximately $613.5 billion in 2019 before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The jump equates to an estimated 40% increase within a few years, largely attributed to higher enrollment and greater service use during and after the pandemic period.

Recent federal budget plans approved during the Trump administration have included major proposals to reduce federal Medicaid support and adjust program structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to lower federal Medicaid payments by more than $1 trillion over a decade. It also introduces work requirements and greater cost-sharing for beneficiaries, which could curb Medicaid coverage and funding for some groups. These adjustments are anticipated to increase fiscal responsibility for states and temper future federal Medicaid spending growth, even as the program continues to cover millions of Americans.
