Abstract

A new method for assessing the costs of gun injuries to a health system examines data on paid amounts, comprehensive medical expenses, and expenses over time. The authors extracted claims using injury diagnosis codes from billing forms and medical charts. The study demonstrates that a claims database can be used to accurately measure health care costs associated with gun injuries. The study is the first to include gun-related injuries treated in ambulatory care settings and to track actual payments over time.
