National Health Expenditure Data

Issue Date: April 15, 2020
The Office of the Actuary in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services annually produces projections of health care spending for categories within the National Health Expenditure Accounts, which track health spending by source of funds (for example, private health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid), by type of service (hospital, physician, prescription drugs, etc.), and by sponsor (businesses, households, governments). The latest projections begin after the latest historical year (2018) and go through 2028. These projections do not take into account the impacts of COVID-19 because of the timing of the report and the highly uncertain nature of the pandemic.
