Graphic of the week

HPIO analysis has found that over the past decade, about 84% of the increase in spending on the Medicaid program in Ohio has been paid from federal funds, with the state accounting for 16% of the increase. As illustrated in the graphic above, between state fiscal years 2012 and 2022, total federal and state spending on Ohio’s Medicaid program grew by an average of 6.7% per year, from about $18.4 billion in SFY 2012 to more than $35 billion in SFY 2022.
 
The analysis was included in HPIO’s Ohio Medicaid Basics, a primer that provides an overview of the Medicaid program in Ohio. HPIO has released Medicaid Basics every two years since 2005.
 
The 2023 edition, which was released in May, includes information on Medicaid eligibility, covered groups and services, delivery systems, financing, spending and recent policy and programmatic changes.
