Medicaid, a joint federal-state health insurance program, is funded by both federal and state governments. It serves low-income individuals and families, elderly people, children, and those with disabilities, and is a major component of U.S. health care.

Because Medicaid payments rely on taxpayer funding, trends in local claim amounts reflect community allocation of public health resources.

The “Radiology Procedures” classification covers a set of Medicaid-billed services identified by their specific care type, using standardized HCPCS and CPT code ranges. For this report, individual billing codes were assigned to related service groupings using set codes and numerical intervals. This method helped track service trends while avoiding overlap and ensuring correct rankings.

Though Medicaid expenditures increased for several types of care, Radiology Procedures was the second largest category by Medicaid spending in Antioch in 2024.

Across California, Radiology Procedures was the 10th highest Medicaid payment category in 2024.

Although funding for Radiology Procedures was used throughout Antioch, payments were heavily concentrated in just a few ZIP codes. In 2024, the ZIP codes with the largest Medicaid payments for Radiology Procedures were 94531, comprising $4,548,722, and 94509, with $4,466,189.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, total combined Medicaid spending from state and federal sources reached around $871.7 billion for fiscal year 2023, roughly 18% of overall U.S. health expenditures, and up significantly from about $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This reflects approximately 40% growth over several years, fueled by broader enrollment and increased service use during and after the pandemic.

Bills passed during the Trump administration have introduced significant cuts to federal Medicaid funding and changes to the program. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”, enacted in 2025, is estimated to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years. It also establishes policies like work requirements and higher cost-sharing, potentially decreasing coverage and funding for certain groups. These adjustments are likely to transfer more financial responsibility to states while limiting federal support, even as Medicaid continues to serve millions nationwide.
