AMS Cardiology

What AMS Cardiology does

AMS Cardiology is an independent, multi-physician cardiovascular medicine practice headquartered in Horsham, Pennsylvania, serving patients across Greater Philadelphia — specifically Montgomery and Bucks County. The group operates four office locations in Horsham and North Wales and was founded in 1970 (originally as Abington Medical Specialists), giving it more than four decades of continuous operation. It employs 19 board-certified cardiologists supported by 7 advanced practice providers and between 101 and 250 total staff, including physicians, APPs, and clinical/administrative personnel.

The practice delivers a comprehensive cardiovascular service line spanning prevention, diagnostic imaging, interventional procedures, and post-acute rehabilitation. Core capabilities include echocardiography, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, nuclear and PET/CT imaging, CT calcium scoring, peripheral vascular medicine, structural heart procedures (TAVR and Watchman), cardiac rehabilitation, and clinical trials participation. The AMS Surgery Center functions as a wholly owned ambulatory facility, and a separate Intensive Cardiac Rehab Center extends the continuum of care beyond procedural visits. Telemedicine is delivered through the Healow platform, and the AMS Vascular sub-brand houses IAC-accredited peripheral vascular services. Geographically, the practice is co-located within the Abington Jefferson Health ecosystem, supporting referral coordination with a major regional health system.

AMS generates revenue primarily through insurance-reimbursed clinical patient services, ambulatory surgical facility fees, ancillary imaging, and self-pay offerings such as CT calcium scoring. Its go-to-market is consumer-facing and referral-driven, with primary care physicians and self-referred patients across the Greater Philadelphia region forming the demand base. There is no public indication of private equity sponsorship, external funding rounds, or institutional anchor contracts.

Revenue model

1. Clinical Patient Services: Revenue generated from office consultations, diagnostic testing, procedures, and treatment services billed to insurance. Services include echocardiography, stress testing, electrophysiology studies, cardiac catheterization, peripheral vascular procedures, and cardiac rehabilitation.
2. Telemedicine Services: Virtual doctor appointments and remote patient care services delivered through the Healow platform, billed as standard telehealth visits.
3. Surgical/Procedure Services: Revenue from procedures performed at the AMS Surgery Center including cardiac catheterization, pacemaker/ICD implantation, ablation procedures, and peripheral interventions. Financial portion must be paid before procedure date.
4. Self-Pay Testing: CT Calcium Scoring test is currently not covered by most insurance companies and is therefore a self-pay test, representing an out-of-pocket revenue stream.
