ER-Avoidance Cost Model

The number every other tool depends on. Tune assumptions; the model recomputes the counterfactual — the ED visit, admission, or infusion visit Brekiya kept from happening — plus the net cost avoided per treated patient and across the addressable population.

Per-patient counterfactual breakdown

Avoided inpatient admissions / yr0.094
Avoided infusion-center visits / yr0.63
Gross avoided cost / treated patient / yr$4,063
Brekiya cost / treated patient / yr− $2,184
Net avoided / treated patient / yr$1,879
Both cost and benefit are scaled by adherence (70%) — a non-adherent patient neither consumes drug nor gets the ED-avoidance benefit.
Method note

The number Brekiya's value story is missing today isn't waiting to be pulled together — a share of it structurally can't be observed. An ER visit that Brekiya prevented never generates a claim. Evidence Assembly constructs the counterfactual across three avoided event types (ED visits, inpatient admissions from those visits, and scheduled infusion-center visits), then scales both the drug spend and the avoided-event benefit by real-world adherence. Population-level numbers are split Y1 vs. steady state so the "% of eligible actually treated" assumption is visible on the surface, not hidden behind a headline. Every lever on the right is tunable; the version that ships to a P&T committee is a locked snapshot with citations attached.
