Camp Verde sees $128,787 in Medicaid spending for alcohol and drug abuse treatment in 2024

In 2024, Camp Verde Medicaid providers charged $128,787 for services reported in the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment category, using data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database. This figure represents a 2061.6% gain over 2023, when providers submitted $5,958 in claims for the same category.

Medicaid, run at the state level and funded by both federal and state governments, insures low-income individuals, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, making it a major part of the U.S. health system.

Since Medicaid relies on taxpayer funding, changes in provider billing reflect how public health funding is distributed throughout a community.

The “Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment” designation encompasses a group of Medicaid-billed services as defined by standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. For this report, analysts matched each billing code to one service category, using established code prefixes and number ranges to group related care, avoid double counting, and maintain accurate category rankings over time.

While several service categories saw Medicaid spending growth, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment ranked third by total amount billed in Camp Verde for 2024.

Statewide, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment was the fourth-highest Medicaid payment category in Arizona during 2024.

Between 2019 and 2024, Medicaid payments tied to Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment in Camp Verde climbed by $160,547, or 55.5%. Annual increases accelerated during certain years, including 2020 and 2022.

Most Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment spending was concentrated in just a few Camp Verde ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 86322 received $128,786 in Medicaid payments for these services, accounting for all Medicaid spending in the category across the city.

Within this category, only a handful of individual billing codes accounted for the majority of Medicaid charges.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined federal and state Medicaid outlays hit about $871.7 billion in fiscal 2023, making up around 18% of all U.S. health spending, a significant increase from roughly $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This change reflects roughly 40% growth in just a few years, mostly due to expanded Medicaid enrollment and increased use during and after the pandemic.

Federal budget policies passed during the Trump administration included major changes to Medicaid financing and structure. Notably, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed in 2025, is expected to cut over $1 trillion in federal Medicaid spending in the coming decade. The law also brings work requirements and more out-of-pocket expenses, which could reduce Medicaid coverage and federal funding for some beneficiaries and shift greater cost burdens to states as the program continues to serve tens of millions.
