*

p < 0.0001; **likelihood ratio test significant; ICC = 0.019; values based on SAS PROC GLIMMIX nested at the maternal residence county level; level 2 intercept entries show county-level parameter estimates with standard errors in parentheses; estimation method = laplace, distribution = binary, link = logit; outcome modeled: having any hypertensive disorder of pregnancy diagnosis code (ICD-9-CM: “642” and ICD-10-CM: “O10, O11, O12, O13, O14, O15, and O16”).

a

Best fitting model.

b

Non-Hispanic unless otherwise noted.

c

MLIF: household income below 18% FPL for parents and caretakers only; SOBRA: household income below 146% FPL if pregnant; CHIP: household income below 317% FPL if <19 years of age; disability: encompasses individuals on Supplemental Security Income or disability or other unspecified category.

d

Captured using corresponding ICD-9 and ICD-10-CM diagnosis and procedure codes.

e

Prenatal care entry adjusted for observations with a preterm birth claim to account for shorter gestation.

f

Low (<25%), medium (25%–29%), and high (>29%) based on proportion of county residents insured by Medicaid for at least 1 month during 2017.
