The base case assumes that 40% attend GLA:D sessions, that 11% avoid surgery, uniform care delivery, that training costs are incurred separately, and that the health care system has enough trained staff to meet demand. The population of people with hip and knee OA waiting for a TJR consultation was estimated with government statistics, peer\u2010reviewed evidence, and routinely collected data from five orthopedic centralized intake clinics (serving 80% of people seeking TJR). Patient\u2010level costs were collected prospectively. International published evidence informed the TJR avoidance estimates. A one\u2010way sensitivity analysis of key parameters evaluated model robustness. Four scenarios were analyzed: public funding for everyone (base case), low\u2010income, rural, and uninsured persons.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Funding GLA:D would cost $4.3 million, serve 12,500 people, and save $8.5 million by avoiding 1,300 TJRs in year one. Savings grow to $8.8 and $8.7 million in years two and three. The number of TJRs performed annually produced the most uncertainty in budget impact (\u2212$15.3 million, \u2212$1.8 million).
