Abstract
Introduction: When coupled with clinical supports, self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring has been shown to be effective at lowering blood pressure for people with hypertension, with positive impacts on health equity.
Methods: This analysis uses nationwide Medicaid claims data to examine trends in SMBP use (ie, use of SMBP services and/or devices) at the national and state levels from 2018 to 2022 among adult Medicaid enrollees.
Results: Rates of SMBP use spiked during the pandemic and subsequently decreased, although rates are still higher than those observed pre-pandemic, and utilization varied considerably by state.
Conclusion: Future research should seek to improve understanding of factors driving state variation in SMBP use.
