Providers in Greenfield submitted $274,870 in 2024 for Medicaid services under the Radiology Procedures category, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database. This reflects a 5.8% improvement over 2023, when $259,822 in claims were filed for similar services.

Medicaid is administered by individual states and funded through a partnership between federal and state governments. Serving low-income individuals, families, seniors, children and people with disabilities, Medicaid represents one of the largest components within the U.S. health care system.

Since public funds are used for Medicaid, fluctuations in community billing levels help reveal how health care dollars are distributed locally.

The Radiology Procedures group consists of Medicaid-billed services defined by standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings, with each billing code classified into a specific service category using systematic code prefixes and ranges. This method groups related services, avoids duplicate counting and maintains consistency in rankings over time.

While multiple service groups saw growth in Medicaid spending, Radiology Procedures placed fourth in Greenfield in 2024 in total Medicaid outlays.

Statewide, this category ranked sixth by total Medicaid payments in Ohio during 2024.

During the five years preceding 2024, Medicaid payments linked to Radiology Procedures in Greenfield rose by $274,623, or 111003.5%. Annual spending increases were especially notable in 2023 and 2021, during periods of rapidly accelerating growth.

Spending on Radiology Procedures was seen across multiple locations in the city, but the majority was attributed to a small group of ZIP codes. For 2024, ZIP code 45123 recorded $274,869 in Medicaid payments tied to this category, making up 100% of the total for Greenfield in that year.

Within Radiology Procedures, most Medicaid funds were paid out for a handful of specific billing codes.

To compare, Radiology Procedures payments in Greenfield climbed 5.8% between 2024 and 2023, while Medicaid payments for all claim categories in the city rose 8.8% over the same time frame.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports federal and state Medicaid spending reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, which represented approximately 18% of national health expenditures. This was up from an estimated $613.5 billion in 2019, before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This nearly 40% increase over several years is largely attributed to higher enrollment and elevated service usage during and after the pandemic period.

Recent federal budget laws enacted under the Trump administration have featured major proposals to trim federal Medicaid funding and amend the program’s structure. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is expected to cut federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion across the next decade and implements changes such as work requirements and increased cost-sharing that could restrict coverage and reduce funding for certain eligible groups. These adjustments may shift additional costs to states while checking federal Medicaid growth, even as the program provides services to tens of millions of Americans.
