Transforming Cardiology: Scaling Access, Tech, and Value-Based Care at US Heart and Vascular
What happens when a specialty MSO grows from 40 to 400+ providers in just 3.5 years—and stays laser-focused on health equity, technology in healthcare, and value-based care?
In this episode of the Analyzing Healthcare podcast, Jason Schifman sits down with Robbie Allen, CEO of US Heart and Vascular (USHV), to unpack one of the most compelling stories in healthcare innovation today.
Highlights from the Conversation:
✅ Massive Growth, Thoughtful Strategy USHV scaled from 1 ASC and 40 cardiologists to 15 ASCs and 400+ providers in six states, with a clear mission: reduce cost, expand access, and improve patient experience.
✅ Technology That Touches Lives From remote monitoring and virtual care to streamlined check-ins and advanced diagnostic models—USHV is rethinking the role of tech in everyday cardiology care.
✅ Health Equity That’s Actionable USHV operates in markets with lower average income and outcomes, actively investing in underserved areas and working closely with Medicare, Medicaid, and CMMI.
✅ Alternative Payment Models That Work Instead of risky full-capitation bets, USHV uses scalable, stepwise risk models—focusing on shared savings, sub-capitation for conditions like heart failure, and aligned incentives.
✅ Global Perspective with Local Impact Robbie shares insights from his international healthcare experience—from South America to Europe—underscoring the universal challenges (and opportunities) in care delivery.
✅ Policy & Partnership Readiness USHV is actively engaged with legislators and peers to shape responsible MSO regulation while exploring collaborative models with health systems.
“The problems of healthcare—delivery, diagnosis, treatment—are universal. And the solutions should be too.” – Robbie Allen
USHV is proving that sustainable growth, innovative care, and industry collaboration aren't just ideals—they’re essential strategies in shaping the future of cardiology and healthcare at large.
