Preparing Your Practice for the CMS Ambulatory Specialty Model
The Ambulatory Specialty Model (ASM) introduces a new performance-based reimbursement environment for selected cardiology practices treating Medicare patients with heart failure. Cardiac Care Alliance helps practices build the clinical, operational, and reporting infrastructure needed to perform under ASM.
Value-based support without disrupting how you practice.
CCA works alongside your existing clinical team to improve heart failure outcomes, strengthen performance, and support value-based reimbursement while preserving your workflows and clinical autonomy.
What ASM Means for Cardiology Practices
Beginning in 2027, the CMS Ambulatory Specialty Model will link Medicare reimbursement to heart failure quality and cost performance for selected practices.
Unlike traditional reporting programs, ASM creates greater financial accountability for clinical outcomes and total cost of care — making proactive heart failure management, documentation, coordination, and performance visibility increasingly important.
Practices need the infrastructure to identify opportunities earlier, coordinate care across settings, optimize evidence-based therapy, and understand performance before reimbursement is affected.

Your Clinical Autonomy.
CCA is a physician-led cardiovascular MSO built to support cardiology practices — not replace the way they deliver care.

ASM is only one part of the value-based opportunity.
In addition to supporting practices under ASM, Cardiac Care Alliance brings specialty value-based care agreements from commercial and Medicare Advantage payers to participating practices, creating enhanced revenue opportunities layered over existing fee-for-service contracts.
