Advisory capability across the healthcare economy.
We connect product design, actuarial consulting, claims intelligence, provider economics, behavioural strategy and executive decision support into one disciplined advisory model.
Nine linked competencies, from product development and actuarial consulting to managed care, provider networks and technical marketing — assembled around each mandate.
Product Development & Portfolio Engineering
Healthcare funding products succeed or fail on the strength of their design.
Pricing, benefits, networks, claims behaviour, managed care, distribution and member needs must work together as one product architecture — not be assembled as separate parts. We design that architecture end to end.
- Product strategy and portfolio architecture
- Benefit option hierarchy and benefit architecture
- Contribution and benefit comparisons
- Price-point positioning and product-market fit
- Retail versus corporate and employer benefit design
- Low-cost, mass-market, chronic, hospital and day-to-day benefit design
- Network-linked product design and managed care integration
- Product refresh, turnaround and new-product launch roadmaps
Medical Scheme & Health Insurance Consulting
Advising both sides of the healthcare economy.
We support medical schemes, health insurers, administrators, managed care organisations, employers and healthcare funders across demand and supply — connecting product economics to claims reality.
- Medical scheme and health insurance strategy
- Product development, benefit design and option hierarchy
- Claims experience analysis and claims-driver identification
- Claims mitigation strategies and product economics
- Benefit richness and value-for-money analysis
- Competitor benchmarking and product-range gap analysis
- Managed care programme advice and provider network monitoring
- Fraud, waste and abuse analytics and redesign roadmaps
Actuarial Consulting & Financial Feasibility
Actuarial analysis your board can act on with confidence.
Our actuarial consulting supports product, funding and executive decisions through pricing logic, contribution modelling, claims-ratio analysis, reserving inputs, IBNR support, benefit-to-cost modelling, scenario testing and board-ready financial interpretation.
- Pricing logic and contribution modelling support
- Claims-ratio analysis and benefit-to-cost modelling
- IBNR support and reserving inputs
- Scenario and sensitivity testing
- Product-level financial performance and affordability testing
- Claims impact assessment
- Board-ready interpretation of technical results
Where formal actuarial certification or a statutory actuarial opinion is required, this is provided through appropriately qualified professionals.
Strategic Analytics & Claims Intelligence
We put data in service of strategy, product design, claims management and executive decisions.
We move funders from claims reporting to decision intelligence — turning utilisation, provider and member data into the small set of choices that change performance.
- Claims, utilisation and loss-ratio analysis
- High-cost claimant and product-level performance analysis
- Provider and network performance analytics
- Fraud, waste and abuse indicators and claims-leakage review
- Executive dashboards and BI reporting
- Statistical and actuarial-style modelling
- Predictive modelling and scenario testing where appropriate
Managed Care, Wellness & Behavioural Strategy
Moving members from awareness to measured outcome.
Managed care, wellness and behavioural economics carry equal weight — because clinical strategy only creates value when members actually change behaviour and completion can be validated.
- Risk stratification and chronic disease pathways
- Disease and case management; high-cost claimant management
- Utilisation review and preventive screening
- Wellness programme design and wellness-to-benefit linkage
- Behavioural economics, incentive design and digital nudges
- Member engagement and benefit-linked incentives
- Completion validation and outcome measurement
From risk to measured outcome

Provider Consulting & Network Strategy
Strengthening the provider's analytical position.
Funders often hold deeper claims and utilisation data than providers, creating an unequal basis for tariff and contracting discussions. We help providers strengthen their analytical position and help funders design networks with better cost, quality and access trade-offs.
- Provider performance benchmarking and clinical efficiency analysis
- Provider profiling and coding and billing review
- Funder engagement strategy and tariff and contracting preparation
- Network design across GP, specialist, hospital and pharmacy
- Referral pathways and network-linked benefit design
- Provider performance monitoring
- Evidence packs for funder negotiations
The provider ecosystem
Provider network ecosystem
Alternative Reimbursement & Provider Contracting
Reimbursement models that balance predictability and accountability.
From fixed fees to capitation and bundled care, we match the reimbursement model to the clinical and economic context — designing for cost predictability, quality and affordability.
- Fixed fees, per diems, capitation and bundled payments
- Network-based reimbursement and contract monitoring
- Provider performance reporting
- Claims and utilisation triggers; quality and access measures
- Reimbursement model feasibility and provider risk-sharing logic
- Cost predictability, affordability and accountability design
Employer Healthcare Solutions
Turning fragmented health spend into management insight.
Employers fund multiple health and wellness benefits whose data sits in separate systems, obscuring total spend, duplication, workforce health risk and the link between health benefits and productivity. We integrate this into one management view.
- Employer health benefit strategy and option comparison
- Payroll-funded health benefit design
- Integrated health, wellness and workforce health reporting
- Absenteeism, sick leave, presenteeism and productivity analysis
- Occupational health and EAP utilisation integration
- Duplicated-spend identification and employer dashboards
- Supplier and funder comparison; cost and value analysis
Technical Marketing & Product Communication
Translating complex logic into clear, market-facing propositions.
We translate complex product, actuarial and managed care logic into propositions that sell without distorting underwriting — clear to boards, brokers, employers and members alike.
- Product positioning and benefit communication
- Broker, employer and board materials
- Member-facing communication and technical product explainers
- Launch narratives and product comparison messaging
- Evidence-based value propositions
