Procode Appoints Blair Baker as COO to Unify Operations and Scale AI in Billing
Procode Inc., an AI-powered revenue cycle management (RCM) company for private practice surgeons, has appointed Blair Baker as Chief Operating Officer. With over 35 years of RCM experience, including leadership roles at Optum and AccuReg, Baker will unify Procode's acquired billing companies into a single operating model and integrate the firm’s AI tools across all client workflows. Baker is tasked with consolidating operations from The Auctus Group and embedding products like Procode AI coding and Procollect to enhance productivity. Jeff Cripe, CEO of Procode, emphasized Baker’s track record in scaling RCM companies through acquisitions and AI innovation at enterprise scale. Baker aims to bring the same benefits seen by large health systems—AI-driven efficiency—to private practice surgeons. Founded in 2024, Procode has raised $14 million in venture funding and serves over 350 plastic surgery and dermatology providers.
