Medicaid is a state-run, federally and state-funded public health insurance program for low-income individuals and families, seniors, children, and those with disabilities. It is a core part of the U.S. health care system, with funding explained by the federal and state governments.
Because Medicaid draws from taxpayer funding, any shift in local billing measures where public health care funds are spent within each community.
The “Radiology Procedures” classification refers to related services grouped by type and determined using standard HCPCS and CPT codes. For this report, service groupings align billing codes with unique categories by code prefix and numerical sequence, allowing similar services to be tracked accurately without duplication over time.
If applicable, service categories comprise multiple types of services commonly billed together through Medicaid—such as diagnostic exams, office visits, and therapeutic treatments.
From 2020 through 2024, Medicaid spending in Utah linked to radiology procedures rose $298,530, or 3.9%. Some individual years, including 2020 and 2021, saw sizable year-over-year increases.
Payments were distributed throughout Utah, but most spending was concentrated in a handful of ZIP codes in 2024. The highest Medicaid outlays for radiology procedures were reported for ZIP Code 84107 at $2,291,681 (29.1%), ZIP Code 84604 at $1,332,988 (16.9%), and ZIP Code 84132 at $1,329,380 (16.9%).
Together, those three ZIP codes made up 62.9% of Medicaid payments for radiology procedures in the state for the year.
Statewide, Medicaid spending across all service categories climbed 1.4% between 2023 and 2024.
The Radiology Procedures group continued to rank among the top 12 Medicaid-billed service groups by total spending across Utah in 2024, as payments also increased in several other categories.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, federal and state Medicaid spending combined reached around $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, representing about 18% of all U.S. health economy expenditures, rising rapidly from nearly $613.5 billion in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This jump reflects an increase of roughly 40% in just a few years, primarily as a result of greater enrollment and service utilization linked to and following the pandemic.
Recent federal budgets under the Trump administration have introduced notable policy changes aimed at shrinking federal Medicaid spending and reshaping the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, projects more than $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending cuts over the next 10 years. The law features new measures like work requirements and higher cost-sharing, which could trim available coverage and funds for some beneficiaries, increasing state responsibilities while slowing the pace of federal support as Medicaid continues to serve millions.
