Las Vegas Medicaid providers billed $919,392 for services under the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) classification in 2024, based on figures from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database.

Medicaid is a state-administered public health insurance initiative financed through a partnership between federal and state governments. It supplies health coverage for low-income groups, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, standing as one of the primary elements of the U.S. health care sector.
Since taxpayer dollars support Medicaid payments, shifts in billing levels at the local level reflect how public health funds are distributed within communities.
The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” service designation includes a selection of Medicaid-billed care types, organized by standardized HCPCS and CPT code clusters. For this analysis, each code was placed into one service category by referencing set prefixes and number ranges, which made it possible to evaluate related care types together while avoiding duplication and preserving consistent rankings across years.
While Medicaid expenditures increased in several service segments, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) placed fifth by total Medicaid disbursements in Las Vegas for 2024.
Statewide in New Mexico, the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) service grouping was ninth by total Medicaid spend during 2024.
From five years earlier through 2024, Medicaid spending on the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) service group in Las Vegas grew by $311,175, or 51.2%. Growth accelerated at certain points, with marked increases from year to year in 2022 and 2023.
Though distribution of these Medicaid payments took place across Las Vegas, the majority was focused within a small number of ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 87701 recorded $919,391 in Medicaid disbursements for the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) service set. The top ZIP code accounted for the entirety of Medicaid payments in this group in Las Vegas that year.
Spending within the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group was similarly focused on a handful of individual billing codes.
For context, from 2023 to 2024, local Medicaid payments for the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group climbed 2.1%, matching the 2.1% rise reported for all Medicaid claim classes in Las Vegas over the same time frame.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, joint federal and state Medicaid spending reached around $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, about 18% of all U.S. health spending—an increase from approximately $613.5 billion in 2019, ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This rise equals an estimated 40% growth in just a few years, attributed largely to expanded enrollment and increased use since the pandemic.
Recent federal budget actions under the Trump administration have included major proposals aimed at reducing federal Medicaid contributions and restructuring the program. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is forecast to cut more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid funding over 10 years and to implement measures such as work requirements and higher cost-sharing, potentially limiting coverage and funding for some recipients. These changes may shift more program costs to states and put pressure on further federal support, despite Medicaid’s ongoing role for millions.
