North Texas Heart Center

What North Texas Heart Center does

North Texas Heart Center (NTHC) is a private cardiology practice founded in 1988 in Dallas, Texas, operating as an affiliate of HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: HCA) under C-HCA, Inc. The practice delivers comprehensive cardiovascular care — including heart disease diagnosis and prevention, interventional cardiology (catheter ablation, angioplasty, stenting), cardiac device implantation and management (pacemakers, ICDs, loop recorders), electrophysiology studies, and lead extraction — to individual patients across the Dallas–North Texas region. It maintains five office locations in Dallas (Medical City Dallas), McKinney (Medical City McKinney), Frisco, Las Colinas, and Plano, and offers telehealth video consultations as a complementary delivery channel.

NTHC's technology stack centers on a digital patient engagement platform built around a Patient Portal (appointment scheduling, prescription refills, lab results, secure messaging), Online Bill Pay (via Payflow Pro and ePay), and a physician referral system. The practice integrates with Salesforce for CRM/email engagement tracking and Surescripts for prescription connectivity, and deploys third-party digital front-door tools including Clearstep Symptom Checker, a COVID-19 Chatbot, WebMD Ignite, and Vital ERAdvisor for patient triage and education. Diagnostic technology includes echocardiography, EKG, stress testing, nuclear perfusion studies, vascular ultrasound, and cardiac monitoring (Holter, event, loop, Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry), supplemented by hospital-based catheterization, electrophysiology, and device implantation capabilities at affiliated HCA facilities.

NTHC operates a fee-for-service professional services model, collecting revenue through insurance claims, copays collected at time of service, and patient payments, accepting most major insurance carriers as well as cash, checks, and credit cards. Go-to-market is sales-led and physician-referral-driven: patients schedule by phone, primary care physicians refer via a formal referral platform, and the practice relies on its long-standing regional brand reputation (35+ years) and HCA Healthcare affiliation for patient acquisition. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership changes were identified in the available data, consistent with a mature, cash-flow-funded private medical practice.
