In 2024, Medicaid providers in Pompano Beach billed $2,761,659 for Medical And Surgical Supplies services, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database. This represents an 88.9% jump from 2023, during which $1,462,222 was billed for this category.

Medicaid is a government health insurance initiative administered by states and funded by both federal and state governments. It serves low-income individuals and families, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, making it one of the largest programs in the U.S. health care system.

Because funding for Medicaid is sourced from taxpayers, shifts in local billing activity indicate how public health funds are distributed within a community.

The “Medical And Surgical Supplies” designation encompasses a collection of Medicaid-billed services determined by care type and organized through standardized HCPCS and CPT code groups. For this report, each billing code was consistently assigned to a specific service category using code prefixes and number fields, enabling examination of related services collectively and ensuring rankings remain accurate over time without double counting.

Although spending through Medicaid also rose in several other categories, Medical And Surgical Supplies was the third-highest by total Medicaid payments for Pompano Beach in 2024.

At the state level, Florida’s Medical And Surgical Supplies category stood as the eighth-largest by Medicaid payments in 2024.

In the five years leading up to 2024, Medicaid funds dedicated to the Medical And Surgical Supplies category in Pompano Beach rose by $1,734,022—a 168.7% increase. This growth accelerated in certain years, notably in 2020 and 2022 with significant year-over-year gains.

While these expenditures were seen across Pompano Beach, spending was mainly concentrated within a small set of ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 33069 recorded $2,761,659 in Medicaid payments for Medical And Surgical Supplies—the full amount reported for this service in the city that year. This means the top ZIP code accounted for all Medicaid payments tied to this category in Pompano Beach for 2024.

Spending within the Medical And Surgical Supplies segment was also centered around a limited selection of billing codes.

For context, the 88.9% rise in Pompano Beach Medicaid payments for Medical And Surgical Supplies between 2023 and 2024 far outpaced the 27.6% increase across all Medicaid claim categories during the same timeframe.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid spending totaled approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023—about 18% of national health expenses and a sharp increase from roughly $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This marks a roughly 40% increase in just a few years, mainly attributed to higher enrollment and utilization rates during and after the pandemic.

Recent federal budget legislation during the Trump administration has put forward major proposals to reduce federal Medicaid funds and transform the program. For example, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to cut more than $1 trillion from federal Medicaid spending over the next decade while adding work requirements and greater cost-sharing, potentially lowering enrollment and funding for some groups. These policy changes are anticipated to increase the cost burden for states and restrict federal Medicaid growth, although the program continues to serve tens of millions nationwide.
