National Cardiovascular Management

What National Cardiovascular Management does

National Cardiovascular Management (NCM) is a private, physician-led healthcare management consulting firm headquartered in Surprise, Arizona (12361 W Bola Dr., Suite 100), founded in 2014 and operating with 1–10 employees. The company partners with entrepreneurial cardiovascular physicians — interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and cardiac electrophysiologists — to design, build, and operate outpatient cardiac catheterization labs and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), delivered as a turnkey solution spanning feasibility analysis, site selection, architectural design, equipment procurement, regulatory and JCAHO accreditation support, billing and revenue cycle management, and post-launch operational management.

NCM's service stack is anchored by leadership composed of practicing physicians who have personally developed outpatient cardiovascular facilities: Dr. Nirav Mehta (interventional cardiology, structural heart), Dr. Stephen T. Smith (vascular surgery, hybrid OR development), and Dr. Andy H. T. Tran (cardiac electrophysiology). The technology layer consists of licensed third-party management software for procedural documentation, cath lab monitoring, and PACS solutions, integrated into partner facilities; NCM does not appear to develop proprietary software platforms.

NCM generates revenue through three streams: project-based development and project management fees, long-term facility management under multi-year management service agreements, and recurring software licensing for cath lab documentation and imaging systems. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct outreach and relationship-driven engagement with cardiovascular physician groups rather than transactional or channel-based marketing — operating today within the Phoenix metropolitan area, with one named external reference customer (Arizona Cardiovascular Institute). Flexible engagement structures ranging from equity partnership to short-term consulting allow physicians to enter either as owners or as limited-scope clients.
