Novocardia is the value-based care division of CVAUSA, focusing on the development, testing, and scalability of clinical and contracting models that improve quality of care and efficiency while lowering costs. Our mission is to help partner groups thrive in the new era of value-based care and risk-based reimbursement.
Empowering Cardiovascular Specialists to Transform Patient Care
Better Patient Outcomes
Value-based care enables quicker recovery, reduces avoidable adverse outcomes, and improves chronic disease management, contributing to a healthier, happier society.
Lower Costs of Care
With greater attention to healthcare spending and more proactive disease management come improved health outcomes and reduced spending on tests, hospitalizations, procedures, and medications.
Shared Financial Accountability
Sharing accountability for healthcare spending with clinicians can incentivize more cost-effective care and a greater focus on population health, which can reduce financial risks for both payors and providers.
Team-Based Care Models
Leverage team-based care models to deliver more efficient, cost-effective, and patient-centered care.
Tech-Enabled Care Solutions
We help practices use technology to improve access to care, better manage populations of patients across the care continuum, and deliver more patient-centered, cost-effective care.
Data on Performance
As the leading national network of cardiovascular specialists, we have access to a wealth of data to guide future decisions and improve care models.

Same-Day & Extended Hours Access
Our practices offer convenient appointment scheduling options, including same-day appointments, extended hours of operation, and an “immediate care” clinic, allowing patients with cardiovascular conditions to receive prompt care when needed, reducing waiting times and potential delays in diagnosis or treatment, and promoting better patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Longitudinal Heart Failure Program
Our longitudinal heart failure program combines medical expertise, personalized treatment plans, and patient education to optimize patients' well-being and quality of life. Through regular check-ups, medication management, lifestyle counseling, and close monitoring of symptoms, our dedicated team works closely with patients to track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and provide timely interventions.
Site-of-Service Management
Our strategic approach focuses on optimizing the selection of the most appropriate healthcare facilities for specific medical procedures or imaging tests. By carefully considering factors such as cost, quality, accessibility, and patient preferences, our site-of-service management program ensures efficient and effective utilization of resources while maintaining the highest standards of care.

Care Transitions Intervention
Comprehensive cardiovascular care often involves collaboration between several providers. By promoting self-care techniques and improving communication and medication management during critical transitions in healthcare, we enhance the continuity of care, resulting in better patient outcomes and lower costs.
Quality Management
In partnership with primary care clinicians, we believe that cardiologists play an integral role in improving healthcare quality. Through standardized pathways, education, and focused outreach to patients, partners, and community physicians, we close critical care gaps, diagnose conditions accurately, and ensure proactive care is provided.
How We’re Building a Better Cardiovascular Care System
Develop
Working in close collaboration with CVAUSA physician partners, we develop new care models.
Test
We test our models to ensure success for patients, payers, and physicians.
Curate
We use the experience gained through testing to refine and strengthen our approach.
Scale
In collaboration with our physician partners, we scale the most promising care models to revolutionize cardiovascular care.
