Baley is a healthcare professional with an established track record of optimizing hospital and medical group performance and providing advanced data analytics. He has a deep understanding of provider compensation compliance and design, which he calls upon to perform fair market value (FMV) and commercial reasonableness (CR) assessments and help hospitals and health systems work through complex payment model challenges. Baley has a passion for helping clients to navigate the obstacles their organization may be facing. He strives to help his clients improve their provider compensation function and achieve an optimized physician enterprise.

At ECG, Baley's primary focus has been on developing physician compensation valuations. These FMV and CR opinions focus on a diverse range of provider compensation plans, employment agreements, medical directorships, and professional services arrangements. In addition to valuations, Baley regularly supports provider compensation design and governance engagements. Recently, Baley helped Hendrick Health perform a retrospective provider compensation audit on the system's 250 employed providers to confirm payroll accuracy and ensure compliance with FMV and CR. Before joining ECG, Baley was a consultant for Optum Advisory Services' Health System Performance Improvement team, where he managed engagements intended to improve clinical operations for Optum’s health system clients.
