Partnership Reinforces USHV’s Position as a Leading Cardiovascular Practice Management Organization and Will Drive Efforts to Transform How Quality Cardiovascular Care Is Delivered

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- US Heart & Vascular (“USHV”), a leading national provider of support services to cardiovascular physician practices, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Rubicon Founders (“Rubicon”), a leading healthcare investment firm, to expand USHV’s capabilities and build the premier, cardiovascular focused, value-based model in the United States.

With a growing footprint of leading clinical partners, a strong management team, and backing from funds managed by the Private Equity Group of Ares Management and Rubicon, USHV has created one of the nation’s premier, physician-focused, cardiovascular support services organization. USHV seeks to enhance the ability of physicians to deliver high-quality cardiovascular care to patients throughout the United States while navigating the transition to value-based care.

The United States spends more than $470 billion dollars a year fighting cardiovascular disease; however, efforts to date have not focused on empowering cardiologists directly to act in the best interests of the patient from an outcome and cost perspective. By leveraging Rubicon’s value-based expertise, USHV plans to equip its partner cardiologists with the guidance and capital to build an effective, expanded care model through comprehensive capability-building and an enhanced technological platform. This new value-based model will enable physicians to take accountability for the total cost of care for patients with cardiovascular disease and facilitate more efficient adjudication. USHV’s cardiologists will have a suite of integrated practice management capabilities facilitating better outcomes for their patients at reduced costs.

Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed.
