The aim is to describe patterns of type 2 diabetes diagnosis prevalence in Medicaid based on individual and contextual factors.
Estimated diagnosed prevalence using 2016–2021 Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) data.
Employed a Bayesian multilevel regression framework considering patient characteristics and state fixed effects.
Included adults ages 21–64 years with 24+ months of consecutive Medicaid enrollment.
Among 4.41 million eligible Medicaid beneficiaries from 11 states, 10.3% had a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
State-level diagnosed prevalence varied from 6.5%–13.0% and increased with age, with 23.9% for ages 55–64.
Higher county-level obesity correlated with increased odds of diagnosis (OR 1.26, 95% CI: 1.25–1.27), whereas urban living and high SVI quartiles lowered odds (OR 0.91, 95% CI: 0.90–0.91).
