In 2024, Medicaid providers in Kellogg billed a total of $331,086 for services in the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) category, data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database shows. This figure represents an 8.5% rise from 2023, when claims for the same service type came to $305,113.

Medicaid, a public health insurance program administered by states and financed through federal and state collaboration, provides coverage to low-income groups, seniors, children, and people with disabilities. It is one of the largest segments of the U.S. health system.

Because public funds support Medicaid payments, variations in local billing offer insights on community allocation of these health care dollars.

The “Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)” category encompasses Medicaid-billed services defined by standardized HCPCS and CPT groupings. For this analysis, all billing codes fell under a single service type using a systematic approach to code prefixes and numeric ranges, which enabled aggregated service review and ensured no double counting while maintaining ranking accuracy over time.

Although Medicaid expenditures climbed in several service types, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) held the second spot for total Medicaid spending in Kellogg in 2024.

Statewide in Idaho, Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) finished third among Medicaid service categories by total payments for 2024.

Looking at data over the five years ahead of 2024, Medicaid outlays connected to Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) in Kellogg grew by $106,741—a 24.4% increase. There were instances of faster growth, particularly in 2023 and 2022.

Across the city, payments for these services were distributed but mainly clustered within a limited number of ZIP codes. For 2024, ZIP code 83837 accounted for $331,086. This ZIP represented 100% of all Kellogg Medicaid payments for this service category that year.

Individual billing within the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) grouping was similarly concentrated within only a few distinct codes.

Comparing service categories, the 8.5% rise in the Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare) group in Kellogg between 2024 and 2023 stands next to a 13.8% increase across all of the city’s Medicaid claim categories in the same timeframe.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that joint federal and state Medicaid spending totaled about $871.7 billion in the 2023 fiscal year, comprising close to 18% of nationwide health expenditures—up sharply from roughly $613.5 billion back in 2019, before the COVID-19 emergency.

This growth represents a nearly 40% rise in just a few years, mainly due to expanded Medicaid enrollment and greater utilization during and in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Recent federal budget legislation under the Trump administration proposed significant reductions in federal Medicaid funding and program restructuring. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is projected to cut over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending over the ten years to follow and includes policies like work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could decrease coverage and funding for specific groups. This would transfer more of the burden to states while likely reining in the pace of federal Medicaid expansion, despite the program serving tens of millions across the nation.
