Advisory

Which healthcare finance challenge do we need to solve?

Start with the decision, evidence and capability required. Advisory helps define the problem before selecting the method or technology.

Advisory · Diagnostic questions

The right healthcare finance answer starts with the right question.

Our advisory work starts by understanding the decision you need to make, the evidence you can trust and the capability you need to sustain.

Cost & variation

Do we really understand what is driving the cost and variation of care?

Explore cost drivers, service variation, pathways, resource use and performance to understand where the economics of care are changing.

Costing confidence

Can we trust our costing model enough to use it for financial and clinical decisions?

Assess methodology, allocation logic, data quality, reconciliation and governance so the model can support decisions rather than simply produce a return.

Planning & budgeting

Are we planning for the care we expect to deliver — or simply rolling forward what we spent last year?

Connect expected demand and activity to capacity, workforce, cost and financial planning instead of relying on historical spend alone.

Pricing & reimbursement

Do our prices and reimbursement arrangements reflect what care actually costs — and where are we exposed?

Use cost and activity evidence to understand pricing sustainability, reimbursement adequacy, contract risk and margin exposure.

Funding & health systems

Are funding decisions based on reliable evidence of the resources required to deliver care?

Support tariffs, cost weights, funding models, benchmarking and policy decisions with defensible provider cost and activity evidence.

Capability & sustainability

Could our teams operate, explain and improve the model confidently as internal capability grows?

Build governance, knowledge transfer, controls and internal capability so the model remains useful after implementation.

AMPHAM CostWise · Live today

Know what care actually costs — and why.

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.

THE QUESTIONCan we explain what every patient, service and pathway costs — what drove that cost — and reconcile it back to finance?

Why AMPHAM

Experience that has been implemented. Technology that sustains 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.

Deep specialist experience

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.

Regional implementation experience

Our team brings hands-on experience designing and implementing healthcare costing, planning, pricing and finance solutions across regional healthcare organisations and systems.

Healthcare-specific, locally configured

Methods and technology are configured around local coding, DRG, reimbursement and payor structures rather than forcing one market’s template onto another.

Live in healthcare environments

CostWise is already deployed in operational healthcare environments, providing a working patient-level cost-intelligence foundation rather than a concept or prototype.

One connected foundation across cost, plan and price

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.

Selected experience

Our team's experience spans policy, implementation and operational use.

Our team’s regional experience spans healthcare finance from national standards and funding frameworks through provider implementation, assurance, technology and capability transfer.

National & Regulatory Costing Frameworks

Costing frameworks, standards, submissions, governance and assurance for health systems and regulatory environments.

Provider costing implementation

Patient-level and service-level costing from data assessment and model design through reconciliation, reporting and operational use.

Pricing, DRG & reimbursement

Cost-informed pricing, DRG and activity-based funding analysis, reimbursement design and provider funding decisions.

Planning & finance transformation

Connecting demand, activity, capacity, workforce and cost to budgeting, forecasting and management decision-making.

Technology platform

One connected healthcare finance platform: Cost → Plan → Price.

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.

Cost intelligence

Start with a trusted cost foundation.

CostWise connects clinical activity and financial resources at patient and service level, creating the governed cost base that planning and pricing can build on.

Health systems & regulatory

Built for providers, payors, health systems and regulators.

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.

Provider questions

Can we connect clinical activity to financial performance?

What does care actually cost?

Where is cost variation occurring?

What capacity and workforce will activity require?

Are prices and reimbursement financially sustainable?

How we work

Start with the decision. Build the capability around it.

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.

Step 1

Define the question

Agree the decisions the model must support — costing, budgeting, pricing, reimbursement or a combination.

Step 2

Assess data & design

Assess available clinical and financial data, then select the method and level of granularity that are genuinely supportable.

Step 3

Build & operationalise

Build, reconcile and validate the model; deploy CostWise and relevant platform capability where it adds operational value.

Step 4

Embed & evolve

Transfer knowledge, establish governance and help the model evolve as services, sites, funding rules and data maturity change.

Embedded intelligence

Intelligence that helps users interrogate and explain — without replacing governed finance logic.

As the platform evolves, AI-assisted capabilities will help users explore data, explain cost and variance, identify unusual patterns and interpret scenarios — always grounded in governed healthcare finance data and methodologies.

Ask & explore

Make complex costing, activity and financial information easier to interrogate using natural-language questions.

Explain & investigate

Surface the drivers behind cost, variance and unusual patterns so teams can focus their investigation where it matters.
