Heartbeat Health, the nation’s largest decentralized cardiology provider, and Karoo Health, the only operational provider of cardiac value-based care enablement with published value-based results, announced the formation of a unique value-based enterprise (VBE), creating the first national, scalable, end-to-end cardiac value-based care (VBC) solution for payers, at-risk entities, and provider networks.
The first-of-its-kind VBE combines Karoo’s VBC-enabling AI-powered technology and wraparound model of care with Heartbeat’s leading virtual cardiac clinical services to expand access, improve outcomes, and lower cost of care for cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients, and the entities responsible for their care, in any given geography throughout the country.
Heartbeat Health leverages its clinicians (licensed and credentialed in all 50 states), diagnostic testing, and telehealth capabilities to deliver 24/7, on-demand cardiovascular care. Karoo Health empowers the transition to, and success within, cardiac VBC arrangements through use of its dedicated wraparound care teams and Kohere.ai, its proprietary technology platform enabling real-time patient communication, clinical information sharing, data amalgamation and analysis, and the provision of actionable insights to partners.

“We’re ‘pumped’ to announce the creation of this value-based enterprise with Karoo, launching the first truly nationwide, end-to-end cardiac VBC solution,” said Dr. Jeffrey Wessler, CEO and Founder of Heartbeat Health. “This partnership will positively impact patient outcomes by merging our advanced, decentralized cardiovascular care with effective VBC technologies and practices, ultimately reducing healthcare costs and vastly improving care outcomes and accessibility for patients in need.”
“Karoo’s model of care and proprietary enabling technologies, combined with Heartbeat’s virtual-clinical capabilities, support timely interventions and improved access to care, allowing our value-based enterprise to manage cardiac risk for populations throughout the nation,” said Karoo Health CEO and Cofounder Ian Koons. “The unique synergies between our two companies allow us to secure, and succeed in, cardiac VBC contracts across the full range of CVD patients, at-risk provider networks, and payers.”
