Overview
Proactive Compliance for Provider Compensation
HSG Advisors strengthens Provider Compensation Compliance programs through a proactive, data-driven process. This ensures compliance, mitigates regulatory and financial risk, and supports defensible, market-aligned compensation strategies that protect your organization and foster provider trust.
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.
