The “Durable Medical Equipment” category represents services classified according to standardized HCPCS and CPT code groupings. Service codes were categorized under a single service class using consistent prefixes and numeric ranges, enabling analysis of related services, preventing double counting, and supporting accurate rankings over time.

Spending on Medicaid-covered care grew in multiple categories in Roseburg; the Durable Medical Equipment segment placed seventh in 2024 by total Medicaid payments.

Across Oregon, the Durable Medical Equipment category held the 11th spot by total Medicaid payments for 2024.

Between 2019 and 2024, Medicaid payments for Durable Medical Equipment in Roseburg climbed by $39,583, or 7.5%. Periods of growth outpaced the overall trend during certain years, including notable upticks in 2020 and 2022.

While citywide spending on Durable Medical Equipment spanned several areas, just two ZIP codes accounted for all Medicaid payments in this category in 2024: 97471, with $292,846, and 97470, with $274,752.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reports that combined federal and state Medicaid expenditures reached about $871.7 billion for fiscal 2023, comprising roughly 18% of total U.S. health spending—significantly up from about $613.5 billion in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

This marks an increase of around 40% in recent years, largely attributed to expanded program enrollment and increased service use during and following the pandemic period.

Major federal budget measures during the Trump administration have included proposals to decrease federal Medicaid funding and restructure the program. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” enacted in 2025, is expected to reduce federal Medicaid spending by over $1 trillion in the coming decade, with new work requirements and additional cost-sharing for some participants, potentially decreasing coverage and increasing state cost burdens while continuing to serve tens of millions of Americans.
