In 2024, Medicaid providers in Mullica Hill billed $191,087 for services in the Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method category, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database. This total reflects a 47.4% increase compared to 2023, when Medicaid claims for these services amounted to $129,603.

Medicaid, funded jointly by state and federal governments and managed by states, covers low-income individuals and families, seniors, children and people with disabilities, and represents a major part of the U.S. health care system.

Because Medicaid is taxpayer-funded, trends in local claims activity help illustrate how health care funding is distributed across the community.

The “Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method” grouping includes a set of Medicaid services organized by care type, based on defined HCPCS and CPT codes. For this report, each billing code was classified under a single service category according to common code prefixes and number ranges, helping ensure accurate analysis by grouping similar services and preventing double counting for proper ranking comparisons over time.

Though Medicaid spending rose in several service categories, Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method ranked eighth for total Medicaid payments in Mullica Hill in 2024.

At the state level, Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method ranked 11th by total payments in New Jersey during 2024.

Within the five years before 2024, Medicaid payments linked to Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method in Mullica Hill rose by $155,902, or 443.1%. Some years featured especially rapid growth, with 2023 and 2020 seeing significant year-over-year increases.

Although Medicaid payments for Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method were made across Mullica Hill, distributions were focused within a small group of ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 08062 accounted for $191,086 in Medicaid spending for these services, making up 100% of all such category payments in the city that year.

In this category, a small subset of individual billing codes comprised the majority of Medicaid spending.

As a point of comparison, spending for Drugs Administered Other than Oral Method in Mullica Hill increased 47.4% from 2023 to 2024, while overall Medicaid payments for all claim types in the city rose by 13.3% over the same period.

According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, federal and state Medicaid spending together reached about $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023—roughly 18% of overall national health expenditures and a sharp rise from the approximately $613.5 billion reported in 2019 prior to COVID-19.

This change represents growth of around 40% in just a few years, primarily because of increased enrollment and higher usage during and following the pandemic.

Recent federal budget actions during the Trump administration featured major proposals to cut federal Medicaid funding and change the structure of the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid outlays by more than $1 trillion over the coming decade. The legislation also adds provisions such as work requirements and greater cost-sharing, which could reduce coverage and funding for certain beneficiaries. These adjustments are expected to lead to increased costs for states and hold down the growth of federal Medicaid contributions, despite the program’s continued service to tens of millions across the country.
