For sports medicine clinics

Pre-injury data on every patient who plays a contact sport.

When a concussion patient walks into your clinic without a baseline, you're diagnosing in the dark. HQ Baseline lets you capture a baseline at the first visit — or retrospectively reference one collected by the school.

For clinicians

What a modern concussion practice needs.

Sports medicine clinicians live with the same frustration: athletes show up after a hit, nobody has a baseline, and you have to triage symptoms against a population norm that may or may not reflect the patient in front of you. HQ Baseline closes that gap two ways.

At the well visit

Any patient with contact-sport exposure gets a baseline on their first visit. Fifteen minutes in an exam room or waiting area, and the clinic has an objective pre-injury reference for that patient’s cognition, balance, and reaction time.

At the concussion visit

When the same patient returns after an injury, you retake the battery and HQ produces a subtype-aware comparison automatically. You see exactly which domain changed most — cognitive, vestibular, ocular, or cervical — which directs your rehab plan from day one.

Frequently asked questions

Can we bill for this?
Many clinics bill HQ-supported cognitive and balance assessments under 96125 and related codes. Coverage and reimbursement vary by payer; we're happy to share what other clinics are doing on a demo call.
Does HQ include a BAA?
Yes. A Business Associate Agreement is included on the Clinic plan. HQ is HIPAA-aligned, supports role-based access, and provides audit logs for every record.
How does this integrate with our EMR?
We support HL7 FHIR and have existing integrations with major EMRs. See /integrations for the current list, or ask us about your specific EMR on a call.
Does HQ replace our VOMS or force-plate workflow?
No — HQ complements those. The baseline battery captures the core cognitive, balance, and symptom domains; if you run VOMS or force-plate assessments, you can keep doing those and add HQ for the pre-injury reference and subtype comparison.

Give every concussion patient a personal baseline to compare against.
