In 2024, Medicaid providers in Campbell reported $1,386,529 in claims for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment services, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Medicaid Provider Spending database.

Medicaid, a state-administered public health insurance plan jointly funded by federal and state governments, covers eligible low-income individuals, seniors, children, and people with disabilities, making it among the largest segments of the U.S. health care system.
Because Medicaid funding comes from public sources, trends in local billing show how taxpayer dollars are distributed within a community’s health care system.
The “Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment” grouping is determined by standardized HCPCS and CPT code ranges, categorizing Medicaid-billed services by the type of care. For this reporting, each code was categorized under a single service group using established prefixes and numeric sequences, which enables related services to be analyzed collectively while avoiding duplicate counting and maintaining accurate year-over-year rankings.
Among multiple service categories with rising spending, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment placed second in Campbell in 2024 for total Medicaid payments.
This category ranked fourth among all Medicaid payment categories statewide in California during 2024.
Between 2019 and 2024, Campbell saw Medicaid payments for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment climb by $1,386,464, or 2136637.6%. During that period, spending growth was especially significant in 2022 and 2023.
While Medicaid expenditures for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment spanned the city, the majority of payments were concentrated in specific ZIP codes. In 2024, ZIP code 95008 accounted for $1,386,528 in Medicaid claims—representing 100% of the city’s payments in this category that year.
Spending within the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment category largely focused on a select set of individual billing codes.
Comparatively, Campbell’s Medicaid payments for Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment rose by 206.1% between 2024 and 2023, while overall Medicaid claims across all categories in the city changed by only 2.9% for the same timeframe.
According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, combined state and federal Medicaid expenditures reached approximately $871.7 billion in fiscal year 2023, making up about 18% of overall national health care spending and rising sharply from $613.5 billion in 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This growth represents an increase of about 40% in a few years, largely driven by expanded enrollment and increased service use during and after the pandemic.
Recent federal budget laws enacted during the Trump administration introduced proposals for significant reductions in federal Medicaid contributions and program reforms. For instance, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed into law in 2025, is forecasted to cut federal Medicaid spending by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years and add requirements such as work mandates and higher cost-sharing, which may reduce access and funding for certain beneficiaries. These measures are anticipated to pass more costs to states and place limits on future federal Medicaid growth, even as the program provides care for tens of millions of Americans.
