FAQs

Who typically hires Baseline Sports & Performance Medicine?

We work with schools, athletic departments, athletic associations, law firms, and healthcare organizations that need sports medicine expertise.
Clients range from small school districts seeking concussion policy updates to legal teams requiring expert review of sports injury cases.

What makes your consulting different from athletic training or medical coverage services?

We don’t replace your on-site care team — we enhance and guide it.
Our consulting services focus on policy, systems, and compliance — helping your existing staff operate within clear, evidence-based frameworks for concussion management, emergency preparedness, and athlete safety.

Do you offer on-site visits or remote consultations?

Most engagements can be completed virtually through document review, video calls, and secure file sharing.
We also provide on-site assessments and training sessions when in-person evaluation or simulation drills are beneficial — especially for Emergency Action Plan (EAP) reviews and workshops.

How long does a typical consulting engagement take?

That depends on the scope:

  • Concussion or policy reviews: usually 2–3 weeks from start to final report

  • Athletic Health & Safety Program Audit: typically 3–4 weeks including the debrief

  • Expert witness or legal reviews: vary by case complexity and discovery timelines

We always provide clear turnaround estimates before any engagement begins.

What information do you need to start a program audit?

We’ll request key documents such as:

  • Existing EAPs, concussion protocols, and health policies

  • Coverage models or staffing outlines

  • Training documentation and communication templates
    From there, we conduct an initial virtual meeting to understand your structure and goals, then deliver a written summary and recommendations.

Are your services available outside New York State?

Yes. Our consulting and expert witness services are available nationwide.
We routinely work with schools and organizations across the U.S. through virtual platforms and secure data transfer systems.

What is your pricing structure?

Projects are typically offered as fixed-fee engagements with clear deliverables.
This allows clients to know exactly what to expect — no hourly surprises.
Common structures include:

  • Flat fee for a defined scope (e.g., concussion policy review)

  • Tiered pricing for comprehensive audits

  • Retainer-based consulting for ongoing advisory support

Do you work with both plaintiff and defense attorneys?

Yes. We maintain strict neutrality and objectivity.
Our role is to clarify the medical facts and standard of care — not to advocate for one side.
This approach ensures that our reports and testimony are credible, evidence-based, and defensible in any venue.

Can you provide references or sample reports?

Absolutely. Upon request, we can provide de-identified examples of prior consulting deliverables or references from organizations we’ve worked with, respecting all confidentiality agreements.

How do I schedule a consultation?

You can schedule a free introductory call directly through our online booking link or reach out via email.
We’ll discuss your needs, define scope and deliverables, and send a proposal or engagement agreement for your review.
