Treatment cost of acute gonococcal infections: estimates from employer-sponsored private insurance claims data in the United States, 2003-2007
Abstract
We used 2003-2007 claims data to estimate the direct cost of medical care per case of acute gonorrhea infection. The estimated average total cost per episode for those who were treated was $210 (male, $227; female, $205). This estimate does not include intangible (e.g., pain) and indirect costs (e.g., lost productivity).
