Payer Budget Impact Analysis Projects Significant Savings from KidneyIntelXTM Testing
at Primary Care Level
Peer reviewed publication in
for early-stage risk assessment and care management in the primary care office
The detailed clinical and cost analysis concluded that health systems and insurance plans would realize these significant cost savings based on slowed disease progression (52% of savings), delayed, or prevented dialysis and transplants (32% of savings), and reduced dialysis crashes (11% of savings). Given the costs associated with current standard of care, the addition of an actionable bioprognosticTM approach to predict kidney function decline in T2DKD patients, stages 1-3b resulted in a projected 5-year savings of
"These findings are significant and further demonstrate that predicting kidney disease risk at its earliest stages - when it matters most - is a major benefit to patients, providers and payers," said CDPHP president and CEO, Dr.
Budget impact analysis (BIA) is a key element in securing payer coverage in the U.S. market. BIA is an economic assessment that estimates the financial consequences of adopting a new, high value intervention like KidneyIntelX. The analysis takes a payer's perspective to evaluate whether a new intervention is affordable. It uses a short-term time horizon, up to 5 years. The model analyzes the direct costs of specific resources needed to implement KidneyIntelX informed care in the PCP office with savings associated with changes in care delivery. That result is multiplied by the number of people affected by the intervention. The results of the analysis provide an understanding of the total budget required to provide the intervention. The size of the population is explicitly considered for this analysis. The focus of a BIA is the direct costs of specific resources needed to put the intervention into effect, such as testing, pharmacy management, and specialist care. Consistent with best practices, sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the impact of core assumptions related to physician compliance and disease progression.
Renalytix will further expand its health economic and utility evidence through separate cost-effectiveness analyses evaluating whether intervention with KidneyIntelX testing provides value, defined as cost relative to health outcome, relative to current standard of care. These analyses will be completed in conjunction with three large real-world evidence studies with
The budget impact model was developed in collaboration with

About KidneyIntelXTM
KidneyIntelX, is a first-of-kind, platform that employs a proprietary artificial intelligence-enabled algorithm to combine diverse data inputs, including validated blood-based biomarkers, inherited genetics, and personalized patient data from electronic health record, or EHR, systems, to generate a unique patient risk score. This patient risk score enables prediction of progressive kidney function decline in chronic kidney disease, or CKD, allowing physicians and healthcare systems to optimize the allocation of treatments and clinical resources to patients at highest risk.
