The prevalence of hypertension by diagnosis code among adult patients increased from 2007 to 2008 and then was fairly stable from 2008 to 2012. The prevalence of hypertension is much lower in older groups, due in part to these people having dual coverage of Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare pays for most health care, but Medicaid pays for long-term-care and home health care services.
Chart Explanation: The chart shows on the y-axis (vertical line) the percentage of adult patients with a diagnosis of hypertension. The x-axis (horizontal line) shows age groups (the block of bars) by year, gender, or race/ethnicity (the individual colored bars).
Data are from the Medicaid datasets of claims (inpatient and outpatient) for Michigan residents from 2007 to 2012. See below for the list of ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes used to determine CKD.
Diagnoses for medical conditions within Medicaid data come from inpatient and outpatient claims submitted by providers for the fee-for-service sections of Medicaid. Only patients aged 20 and older with >3 months Medicaid eligibility were included for the analysis.
