How We Work

HSG helps hospital and health systems proactively manage their provider compensation compliance by delivering annual, data-driven evaluations, categorizing agreements by risk, and providing formal FMV and Commercial Reasonableness opinions and actionable recommendations to ensure defensible, compliant compensation practices. We perform annual evaluations of all provider agreements, quickly identify non-issues and potential risks, and deliver formal Fair Market Value (FMV) and Commercial Reasonableness (CR) opinions when needed.

Compensation Compliance Support

HSG conducts a thorough annual assessment of all provider compensation arrangements, including benchmarking against industry standards and reviewing contracts, duties, compensation models, and productivity.

We stratify provider agreements into categories—No Concern, Moderate Concern, Significant Concern, and Monitor—based on compliance risk, compensation percentiles, and alignment with production, allowing organizations to focus resources on potential issues.

HSG provides formal, third-party FMV and CR opinions for agreements identified as moderate or significant concern, documenting compliance and supporting regulatory defense.
