Historically, budget impact models have been used to demonstrate how a new drug or technology entering the market could influence payer budgets, with the hope of influencing coverage of the drug or technology. This article proposes the adaptation of a budget impact model framework to answer the payer question "What is the budget impact of our approaches to managing the utilization of drugs and technologies?" Throughout this article, we also describe lessons learned while collaborating with a U.S. payer to evaluate the budgetary impact of specific antidiabetic drug utilization management approaches.
