Cardiac Cath Lab of Phoenix

What Cardiac Cath Lab of Phoenix does

Cardiac Cath Lab of Phoenix, operating under the formal name Cardiac Surgery Center of Phoenix, is a single-location outpatient ambulatory surgery center (ASC) at 1910 E. Thomas Rd., Suite 102, Phoenix, Arizona, specializing in cardiac and peripheral vascular interventional and diagnostic procedures on a same-day discharge basis. The facility is physician-owned and accredited by The Joint Commission with a Gold Seal of Approval, and is certified for Medicare reimbursement. Its service menu spans cardiac catheterization (coronary angiography), coronary and peripheral angioplasty/stenting, peripheral angiography, pacemaker and defibrillator placement, implantable loop recorder placement, cardioversion, and peripheral artery disease (PAD) screening.

The center operates within the network of SCA Health, a national surgical solutions provider with 200+ surgical facilities that serves as the parent organization and strategic partner. Patients are referred by independent cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and interventional cardiologists from at least four major Phoenix-area cardiology groups (Affiliated Cardiologists of Arizona, Heart and Vascular Center of Arizona, Biltmore Cardiology, and P.A.C.E. Cardiology). Clinical staff comprises Registered Nurses, Radiologic Technologists, Registered Invasive Specialists, and Medical Assistants, with leadership consisting of CEO Michael Skawski, Clinical Services Manager Tiffany Cail, and Director of Nursing Cassie Van Omen.

Revenue is generated primarily through facility fees billed to insurance companies and patients for each procedure performed, with the center functioning as an in-network provider for most insurance plans and handling insurance claims and pre-authorization internally. The center markets a 45% cost advantage relative to hospital-based equivalents, a 20-25 minute online pre-registration process, day-before scheduler calls, and bilingual English/Spanish support. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals and digital presence (website, SCA Health's Facebook and LinkedIn profiles) rather than direct-to-consumer advertising. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software products, or API offerings are disclosed.

Products and services

• Cardiac Catheterization Diagnostic procedure performed to evaluate for abnormalities or blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart (coronary arteries); also known as a coronary angiogram or heart cath. Performed in an outpatient setting for patients referred by their cardiologists.
• Coronary Angioplasty Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed to open blockages formed from plaques in heart arteries and improve blood flow to the heart, often including stent placement.
• Peripheral Angiography Peripheral catheterization procedure performed to evaluate for abnormalities or blockages in blood vessels outside the heart, such as the arms, legs, or neck.
• Peripheral Angioplasty / Stenting Interventional procedure to either open blockages formed from plaques in peripheral arteries or stabilize severely aneurysmal (dilated) blood vessels, often including stent placement.
• Pacemaker Placement Permanent pacemaker placement involving insertion of electrodes beneath the collar bone and attachment to a generator placed under the skin to treat bradycardia (slow heartbeats).
• Defibrillator Placement Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placement that acts as a pacemaker capable of delivering electricity to trigger heartbeat and shocking the heart out of life-threatening heart rhythms.
• Implantable Loop Recorder Small implantable device placed under the skin in the chest to monitor for abnormal heart rhythms over extended periods, used for patients with infrequent severe spells.
• Cardioversion Procedure that restores a fast or irregular heartbeat to a normal rhythm, commonly performed using electrical current delivered through pads attached to the chest wall.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Screening Non-invasive office-based diagnostic procedure to diagnose peripheral artery disease, a circulatory condition that causes narrowing or blockage of vessels carrying blood from the heart to the legs. Indicated for patients with risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and age 60 and older.
