*Note: In October 2015, ICD-10-CM codes were implemented. Previous to October 2015, ICD-9-CM codes were used for medical billing. Therefore, 2015
data consists of two distinct coding schemes, ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM respectively. Due to this change in coding schemes, hospital billing data from
October 2015 forward may not be directly comparable to previous data. ICD-9-CM consisted of roughly 13,000 diagnosis codes while ICD-10-CM has
roughly 68,000 diagnosis codes, allowing for greater degrees of specificity and accuracy.

ICD-9-CM Codes Used For Emergency Room Visits and Inpatient Hospitalizations (before October 1, 2015):
E922.0-E922.3: Accident caused by handgun, shotgun, hunting rifle, military firearm, other and unspecified firearm
E955.0-E955.4: Suicide and self-inflicted injury by handgun, shotgun, hunting rifle, military firearm, other and unspecified firearm
E965.0-E965.4: Assault by handgun, shotgun, hunting rifle, military firearm, other and unspecified firearm
E985.0-E985.4: Undetermined whether accidentally or purposely inflicted injury by handgun, shotgun, hunting rifle, military firearm, other and
unspecified firearm
ICD-10-CM Codes Used For Emergency Room Visits and Inpatient Hospitalizations (after October 1, 2015):
