Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates

What Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates does

Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates (ADCA) is a private cardiology practice headquartered at 1444 South Potomac Street, Suite 300, Aurora, Colorado, founded in 1973 and operating as a subsidiary of HCA Healthcare via the HCA HealthONE network. The practice delivers comprehensive adult cardiac care across eight locations in the Denver-Aurora-Rocky Mountain corridor (Aurora, Castle Rock, Centennial, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Lakewood, and Lone Tree), serving patients with heart disease, valve disorders, arrhythmias, and acute cardiac emergencies. Service lines are organized into three clinical modules — Structural Heart Treatments (including TAVR and TMVr), Interventional Cardiology, and Electrophysiology — supported by preventive heart care, coronary calcium scan testing, accredited chest-pain emergency response, clinical-trial access, telehealth visits, and an eClinicalWorks-based patient portal.

ADCA operates a fee-for-service, insurance-driven revenue model through professional billing for cardiology services rendered at clinic and hospital settings, with unit pricing governed by CPT codes (e.g., CPT 93010 ECG interpretation at $28 NonFac; CPT 99214 established-patient moderate-complexity visit at $298 NonFac; CPT 93000 routine ECG at $51 NonFac). Patients without insurance are directed to call the practice to discuss payment options, and billing is consolidated through HCA's online ePay system covering both clinic and hospital charges. The go-to-market motion is physician-referral-led and direct-to-patient via phone, online portal, walk-ins, and hospital emergency routing through affiliated HCA HealthONE hospitals (Medical Center of Aurora, Sky Ridge, Swedish, and others). The customer base is B2C and fragmented across thousands of individual patients annually, with no single-customer revenue concentration.

Operationally, the practice comprises 51-100 employees (per firmographics), leverages the HCA HealthONE hospital network for inpatient and procedural cardiology, and markets through content (website, newsroom), virtual events with the American Heart Association, media appearances on local Denver outlets, and community health campaigns. Recent recognitions include Premier's 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals 2025 (HCA HealthONE Aurora and Swedish) and AHA Get With The Guidelines – Stroke Gold Plus and Mission: Lifeline awards in 2025. ADCA has been independent for over five decades before integrating into the HCA HealthONE cardiovascular network, with co-marketing and co-branding evident across services, locations, and patient-facing materials.

Core offering

Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates is a private cardiology practice that provides comprehensive heart care including preventive cardiology, diagnostic testing (e.g., coronary calcium scans, echocardiograms, ECG), interventional procedures (catheterization, stenting), structural heart treatments such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr), and electrophysiology services for heart rhythm disorders like atrial fibrillation. The practice serves patients across eight locations in the Rocky Mountain region through its affiliation with the HCA HealthONE hospital network, treating thousands of patients annually with same- or next-day appointment availability.

Product overview

Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates is a single cardiology practice offering a comprehensive portfolio of cardiac care services rather than a multi-product software platform. The practice operates as an integrated cardiology group providing three main service modules: Structural Heart Treatments (including TAVR and TMVr), Interventional Cardiology, and Electrophysiology. Supporting these core clinical services are diagnostic offerings like coronary calcium scan testing, preventive heart care programs, and access to clinical trials. The practice also provides digital patient services including a Patient Portal for secure medical record access and appointment scheduling, Telehealth Visits for virtual consultations, and Online Bill Pay for consolidated billing management. With seven locations across the Rocky Mountain region, the practice has been serving patients for over 50 years.
