Medicaid and CHIP State Expenditure Totals by Program

State-by-state summary expenditure data for Medicaid, Medicaid Administration, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The data is sourced from the automated Medicaid Budget and Expenditure System/CHIP Budget and Expenditure System (MBES/CBES). The dataset was last updated in February 2025 by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Use Cases

• Analyze state-by-state total expenditure patterns for Medicaid, Medicaid Administration, and CHIP programs.
• Compare program-level spending allocations across different states using the reported summary totals.
• Track financial trends in state Medicaid and CHIP expenditures over time using the MBES/CBES system data.

Strengths

• Data is reported by the authoritative U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
• Covers three major public health insurance programs: Medicaid, Medicaid Administration, and CHIP.
• Provides a national view with state-by-state granularity for expenditure comparison.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and specific column structure, limiting immediate analytical utility.
• Data is presented as summary totals, lacking detailed transactional or beneficiary-level information.
• Relies on state-reported data through the MBES/CBES systems, which may have reporting lags or inconsistencies.
