We combine specialist healthcare finance expertise, hands-on implementation experience and purpose-built technology — helping healthcare organisations understand the cost of care, plan the resources required to deliver it and make better-informed pricing decisions.
Follow the economics of care from clinical activity to cost, planning, reimbursement and executive decision-making.
Clinical activity, workforce, pharmacy, theatre time, length of stay and overheads all contribute to the financial picture. CostWise brings those signals together into a governed, fully absorbed view of cost.
CostWise · Live todayPlanning should connect future activity to capacity, workforce, cost and financial requirements — rather than simply rolling last year’s budget forward.
PlanWise · Coming soonUse the same cost foundation to test reimbursement, contract and pricing scenarios — with clear visibility into the financial implications of each option.
PriceWise · Platform roadmapWhen cost, plan and price are built from the same governed logic, CFOs, COOs, clinical leaders and boards can make service-line, capacity and investment decisions from a shared evidence base.
Cost → Plan → Price → DecideIllustrative view showing the types of clinical and financial inputs that can contribute to fully absorbed cost.
Illustrative planning flow connecting activity assumptions to operational and financial requirements.
Illustrative scenario modelling against the same governed cost foundation.
The value is not another report. It is a connected financial logic that supports better decisions.
Our advisory work starts by understanding the decision you need to make, the evidence you can trust and the capability you need to sustain.
Explore cost drivers, service variation, pathways, resource use and performance to understand where the economics of care are changing.
Assess methodology, allocation logic, data quality, reconciliation and governance so the model can support decisions rather than simply produce a return.
Connect expected demand and activity to capacity, workforce, cost and financial planning instead of relying on historical spend alone.
Use cost and activity evidence to understand pricing sustainability, reimbursement adequacy, contract risk and margin exposure.
Support tariffs, cost weights, funding models, benchmarking and policy decisions with defensible provider cost and activity evidence.
Build governance, knowledge transfer, controls and internal capability so the model remains useful after implementation.
Engage AMPHAM for a focused challenge or a broader healthcare finance transformation. Our advisory capabilities can stand alone or connect cost, planning, pricing, data and capability around the decisions you need to make.
Design and implement patient-level and service-level costing that reconciles to finance and reflects how care is actually delivered.
Translate demand, activity, capacity and cost into practical financial plans rather than simply rolling forward last year’s budget.
Use cost intelligence to support pricing decisions, DRG and activity-based funding analysis, contract decisions and reimbursement strategy.
Build the data, controls, reporting and internal capability needed to operate the model confidently after implementation.
CostWise turns clinical and financial data into governed patient-level cost intelligence. Already deployed in operational healthcare environments, it helps finance and clinical teams understand cost, explain variation and reconcile the results back to finance.
If cost, budget and price are built from different assumptions, which number does the board trust?
That is the problem AMPHAM is designed to solve: one governed financial logic connecting the cost of care, the resources required to deliver it, and the price or funding needed to sustain it.
Our advantage is the combination: specialists with hands-on experience designing and implementing healthcare finance models across the region, together with technology already operating in healthcare environments — turning established methods into an operational capability clients can continue to use.
Engagements are led by specialists with 60+ years of combined clinical costing, planning and pricing experience — people who understand both the methodology and the realities of implementation.
Our team brings hands-on experience designing and implementing healthcare costing, planning, pricing and finance solutions across regional healthcare organisations and systems.
Methods and technology are configured around local coding, DRG, reimbursement and payor structures rather than forcing one market’s template onto another.
CostWise is already deployed in operational healthcare environments, providing a working patient-level cost-intelligence foundation rather than a concept or prototype.
CostWise provides the live cost foundation. PlanWise and PriceWise are being developed to extend the same governed logic into planning and pricing — creating a connected path from activity and cost to budget, reimbursement and margin.
Our team’s regional experience spans healthcare finance from national standards and funding frameworks through provider implementation, assurance, technology and capability transfer.
Costing frameworks, standards, submissions, governance and assurance for health systems and regulatory environments.
Patient-level and service-level costing from data assessment and model design through reconciliation, reporting and operational use.
Cost-informed pricing, DRG and activity-based funding analysis, reimbursement design and provider funding decisions.
Connecting demand, activity, capacity, workforce and cost to budgeting, forecasting and management decision-making.
CostWise provides the live cost-intelligence foundation. PlanWise is being developed to extend that foundation into demand-, capacity-, workforce- and budget-led planning, while PriceWise is planned to extend it into reimbursement, pricing and margin. Together, they define the AMPHAM Cost → Plan → Price roadmap.
CostWise connects clinical activity and financial resources at patient and service level, creating the governed cost base that planning and pricing can build on.
Live clinical costing software that calculates and analyses fully absorbed cost at patient and encounter level, supporting multiple costing methodologies within one governed platform and working with real healthcare data.
Planned budgeting and financial planning capability being designed around Activity-Based Budgeting, demand, capacity, scenarios and the cost intelligence established in CostWise.
Planned pricing and reimbursement capability for comparing funding models, contract scenarios and margin against a consistent cost foundation.
PlanWise is being designed to connect demand, activity, capacity, workforce, cost, budget and forecast in one planning flow — moving healthcare planning away from historical roll-forward and toward operationally grounded financial decisions.
PriceWise is planned to connect fully absorbed cost, reimbursement, pricing and margin across multiple funding models — allowing teams to test the financial impact of contract, activity and reimbursement changes before decisions are made.
The questions change by audience, but the requirement is the same: trusted evidence connecting activity, resources, cost, funding and financial decisions. AMPHAM applies global methods with local healthcare configuration and regional implementation experience.
The method is practical: understand the question, assess the data, build the economic model, operationalise it in technology where appropriate, and transfer capability to the client team.
Agree the decisions the model must support — costing, budgeting, pricing, reimbursement or a combination.
Assess available clinical and financial data, then select the method and level of granularity that are genuinely supportable.
Build, reconcile and validate the model; deploy CostWise and relevant platform capability where it adds operational value.
Transfer knowledge, establish governance and help the model evolve as services, sites, funding rules and data maturity change.
Start with the challenge. We can help you determine whether the answer is advisory support, CostWise, or a broader Cost → Plan → Price journey.
