Budget Impact Models

What is a budget impact model?

A budget impact model (BIM) is used to estimate the likely change in expenditure to a specific budget holder resulting from a decision to reimburse a new healthcare intervention.  These decisions can be local or national depending on the end user. The time horizon in a BIM is rarely more than five years and often one year.

 

When do you need a budget impact model?

A BIM is also an essential component of local reimbursement negotiations. It is a flexible and simple tool that helps local decision makers understand the implications and benefits of switching to your product rather than retaining the status quo.
