In 2024, Medicaid providers in Casa Grande billed $2,249,727 for radiology procedure services, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database. This represents an increase of 4.7% compared with 2023, when the total was $2,148,250 for the same service category.
Medicaid, a public health insurance initiative managed by states and funded jointly by federal and state governments, serves low-income individuals and families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities. The program is among the largest components of the U.S. health care system.
Since Medicaid funding is supplied by taxpayers, changes in local claim amounts highlight community allocations of public health dollars.
The “Radiology Procedures” group encompasses Medicaid-billed services defined by care type, based on unified HCPCS and CPT code ranges. In this analysis, every billing code was categorized into one service group by consistent code prefixes and specified numeric intervals, ensuring related services are grouped, double counting is prevented, and rankings remain accurate over time.
While several Medicaid categories saw higher spending, Radiology Procedures ranked sixth in Casa Grande by total claims in 2024.
Statewide in Arizona, Radiology Procedures placed seventh in total Medicaid payments in 2024.
During the five years ending in 2024, Casa Grande’s Medicaid payments for Radiology Procedures rose by $171,295, or 8.2%. Some years, including 2021 and 2022, saw more significant annual increases.
Although Radiology Procedures spending was citywide, the bulk of payments were concentrated in a small set of ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 85122 accounted for $2,249,726, representing 100% of Casa Grande Medicaid payments in this category for the year.
Within the Radiology Procedures category, a few billing codes accounted for the majority of Medicaid payments.
From 2023 to 2024, Casa Grande’s Medicaid payments in the Radiology Procedures category rose by 4.7%, while overall Medicaid claim categories in the city increased by 24% over the same span.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid spending reached about $871.7 billion for fiscal year 2023, making up roughly 18% of national health expenditures. That figure jumped from about $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This jump reflects nearly 40% growth in just a few years, largely due to rising enrollment and increased service use during and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget acts passed under the Trump administration have proposed substantial federal Medicaid funding reductions and structural changes. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is forecast to reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and introduces requirements such as work mandates and higher cost-sharing, potentially reducing coverage for some beneficiaries. As a result, more of the expense load is expected to shift to states, limiting the expansion of federal Medicaid funds even as the program continues to enroll tens of millions of people.
