Lexington Medicaid Spending Surge | Winston–Salem News

Medicaid spending in Lexington, North Carolina, exploded in 2024, with procedures and professional services alone hitting $83,486 — a staggering 186.4% jump from just $29,153 in 2023. While overall Medicaid claims rose only 43.2%, this category surged far ahead, fueled by pandemic-driven enrollment and utilization.
