Pima Heart & Vascular

What Pima Heart & Vascular does

Pima Heart & Vascular is a privately held, physician-led cardiovascular practice headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, founded in 1980 and operating as the largest privately owned cardiovascular practice in Arizona. The company employs 600+ team members including over 60 board-certified providers across cardiac care, vascular care, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, and cardiothoracic surgery. It delivers care through more than 15 office locations spanning Southern Arizona (Tucson, Green Valley, Nogales, Sierra Vista, Benson, Sahuarita, Oro Valley, Sells, San Xavier) plus a Medicare-certified, AAAHC-accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center, a Vein Center, and telehealth services.

The technology stack consists of office-based diagnostic imaging (echocardiography, nuclear medicine, cardiac PET/CT, vascular ultrasound), catheter-based interventional equipment, minimally invasive surgical tools, and the eClinicalWorks Healow patient portal. A dedicated Clinical Research Program, governed under IRB and Good Clinical Practice guidelines, runs active trials with Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abiomed, Novartis, Eli Lilly, Amgen, Philips, Terumo Aortic, Silk Road Medical, Inari Medical, Alleviant, and CardiolRx, plus a Google Health HYGEA trial using Pixel Smartwatch wearables.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billed to insurance carriers including Medicare, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, and United Healthcare, with secondary streams from outpatient ASC procedures, vein center services, and clinical trial sponsor payments. Patient acquisition runs through a hybrid sales-led model combining a structured physician referral program (fax and secure-email intake) with direct-to-consumer marketing, same-day appointments, and community events. The practice is affiliated with US Heart & Vascular (USHV), a national organization of 200+ cardiovascular specialists providing shared administrative, billing, HR, and technology services while preserving physician-led governance through a Clinical Governance Board. Operating subsidiaries include Pima Heart ASC, LLC and Pima Heart Physicians, PC.
