Why The Heart Network
A Different Kind of Cardiovascular Partnership
Built from the ground up for practices that want the benefits of a national platform without giving up what makes them great.

Independence Has Always Been Worth It. Now, It Comes With Support.
You've said no to the PE conversation, maybe more than once. Not because you don't understand the market pressure but because you understand what you'd be giving up: your name, culture, clinical independence, and the patient relationships you’ve spent years building.
The Heart Network was built for exactly this moment.
We don’t acquire practices or serve as a physician practice management company that trades one set of constraints for another. We offer genuine partnership, one where you access the scale of a national platform while retaining everything that makes your practice worth scaling.
Why Partner With The Heart Network?
Remain in control
No equity transfer or acquisition, ever.
The Heart Network does not purchase practices and does not take an equity stake. Your practice remains 100% physician-owned. You decide what you join, what you use, and when and if you leave.
Broaden your access
Real payer contracts from day one.
Our value-based care contracting is live and operational, with our CIN connecting your practice to established payer relationships with major U.S. insurers immediately upon joining. The revenue that independent practices typically spend years and significant capital trying to access on their own is available from the start.
Expand your capabilities
Membership in The Heart Network's CIN is the foundation. Everything beyond that is available on your terms. You choose what you need. You pay for what you use. There is no bundled services requirement that comes with fine print.
What Sets The Heart Network Apart
Physician-led governance
The Heart Network's advisory structure includes practicing cardiologists. Clinical decisions stay with physicians, inside and outside the network.
Operational from day one
No 12-month implementation runway. Payer contracts, technology, and support services are live and ready for your practice.
Built on proven infrastructure
Backed by one of the largest cardiovascular platforms in the U.S., comprising 500+ cardiologists, 8 states, 1.3M+ active patients.
Common Questions
Explore some of the most common questions we get from practices. If you have something specific you’d like to ask, we would love to have a chat.
It isn't a sale. There is no equity transfer and no acquisition. You remain 100% physician-owned. The Heart Network provides services and access to payer contracts without taking a stake in what you've built.
Membership in the CIN and access to value-based care contracts is structured as a participation agreement. MSO services beyond the CIN are priced individually. You choose what you use. There is no flat management fee that applies regardless of what you access. Pricing is disclosed in the initial conversation.
Completely. Clinical decision-making remains with your physicians. The Heart Network does not set clinical protocols, staffing ratios, or productivity targets. What we provide is operational and financial infrastructure, with the tools, contracts, and support that let your physicians practice on their own terms.
Yes. The affiliate agreement includes standard exit provisions. We want practices to stay because the value is real, not because the contract makes leaving prohibitive. The terms are disclosed fully before any agreement is signed.
Access to value-based care contracts begins immediately upon joining the CIN. Revenue cycle impact from RCM services typically becomes measurable within 60–90 days of go-live. Specialty service line revenue depends on the program and local market dynamics. We provide realistic timelines upfront.
