FillPoint Health, a URAC- and ACHC-accredited specialty pharmacy and management services organization (MSO) and a Lyceum Company, today announced the continued expansion of its strategic partnership with US Heart & Vascular (USHV), a leading national cardiovascular practice network. The collaboration is aimed at broadening patient access to innovative therapies across complex, underserved, and rapidly evolving cardiovascular disease categories, where care coordination, operational precision, and timely therapy initiation are critical to patient outcomes.
The expanded partnership reflects a shared commitment by both organizations to improve the quality, consistency, and accessibility of care for patients living with advanced cardiovascular conditions. These include progressive and rare cardiomyopathies, advanced and chronic heart failure, fluid overload and edema-related disorders, and other cardiovascular diseases that require specialized treatment pathways, close clinical monitoring, and high-touch coordination across multiple stakeholders.
As cardiovascular disease continues to be one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, providers face increasing challenges in delivering advanced therapies efficiently and equitably. Many emerging and specialty cardiovascular treatments involve complex reimbursement structures, strict distribution requirements, and ongoing patient support needs. Through this partnership, FillPoint Health and USHV are addressing these challenges by integrating specialty pharmacy services directly into provider workflows, enabling a more seamless and patient-centered care experience.
Under the expanded collaboration, FillPoint Health will work closely with USHV’s national network of cardiovascular clinics to support disease states where timely access to therapy, care coordination, and operational alignment are essential. FillPoint Health’s specialty pharmacy and MSO infrastructure will help USHV practices navigate the complexities of therapy initiation, benefits verification, prior authorization, financial assistance, dispensing, and ongoing adherence support. This approach allows clinicians to focus on patient care while ensuring therapies are delivered efficiently and compliantly.
The partnership is specifically designed to address some of the most challenging aspects of cardiovascular care. Advanced heart failure management, for example, often involves patients with multiple comorbidities who require frequent monitoring and adjustments to therapy. Similarly, patients with rare or progressive cardiomyopathies may depend on emerging treatments that require specialized handling, close follow-up, and long-term coordination. By streamlining how these therapies are accessed, coordinated, and delivered within provider practices, FillPoint Health and USHV aim to reduce delays, improve continuity of care, and enhance patient outcomes.
A key differentiator of the collaboration is its provider-centric design. By aligning specialty pharmacy services with MSO capabilities and existing clinic workflows, the partnership creates a scalable and repeatable care model that can be deployed across USHV’s growing national footprint. This model supports both established therapies and new innovations entering the cardiology space, helping practices adapt quickly as treatment standards evolve.
At FillPoint Health, our focus is on enabling access to innovative therapies in complex cardiovascular disease categories where coordination and execution matter most,” said Michael Baldzicki, Chief Revenue Officer of FillPoint Health. “Partnering with US Heart & Vascular allows us to extend our pharmacy-led, provider-centric model into advanced cardiology care. Through this collaboration, we are supporting clinicians, improving patient access, and bringing greater consistency to how complex therapies are delivered across care settings.”
From USHV’s perspective, the partnership strengthens its ability to deliver advanced care models to patients across diverse geographic and demographic populations. USHV’s network of cardiovascular clinics spans multiple states and serves patients with a wide range of clinical needs, from routine cardiovascular management to highly complex disease states. By working with FillPoint Health, USHV clinics gain access to a specialty pharmacy partner with deep expertise in the operational, financial, and compliance requirements associated with complex cardiovascular therapies.
This collaboration supports USHV’s broader mission to improve cardiovascular care delivery through innovation, clinical excellence, and operational efficiency. As value-based care models continue to gain traction, the ability to coordinate therapy access and ongoing patient support has become increasingly important. The partnership with FillPoint Health enables USHV practices to better align clinical decision-making with the logistical and administrative processes required to deliver advanced therapies effectively.
For patients, the expanded partnership translates into a more streamlined and supportive care experience. Navigating specialty therapies can be overwhelming, particularly for individuals managing chronic or progressive cardiovascular conditions. Through coordinated services such as benefits navigation, patient education, adherence monitoring, and proactive follow-up, FillPoint Health and USHV aim to reduce barriers to care and improve long-term treatment success.
The collaboration also underscores FillPoint Health’s broader growth strategy. While the company has established a strong foundation in select therapeutic areas, it has remained focused on disciplined expansion into new specialties where its pharmacy-led, provider-focused model can deliver meaningful impact. Advanced cardiology and heart failure management represent areas of significant unmet need, as well as opportunities to improve care delivery through better integration of pharmacy and clinical services.
By expanding into complex cardiovascular disease management, FillPoint Health is positioning itself at the forefront of integrated specialty care. The company’s approach emphasizes not only access to therapy but also the infrastructure and coordination required to support patients throughout their treatment journey. This includes collaboration with providers, payers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders to ensure therapies are delivered safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
Similarly, USHV continues to build its reputation as a leader in cardiovascular care by adopting innovative partnerships that enhance clinical capabilities and patient access. As new therapies emerge and the complexity of cardiovascular care increases, collaborations such as this one play a critical role in enabling practices to remain agile and responsive to patient needs.
Together, FillPoint Health and USHV are creating a model for integrated cardiovascular care delivery that balances innovation with operational excellence. By focusing on high-touch coordination, provider alignment, and scalable infrastructure, the partnership aims to set a new standard for how complex cardiovascular therapies are accessed and managed within clinical practice.
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the expanded partnership between FillPoint Health and US Heart & Vascular demonstrates how collaboration across pharmacy, clinical, and operational domains can drive meaningful improvements in patient care. By addressing unmet needs in advanced cardiology and heart-failure-related disease management, the two organizations are well positioned to lead the next phase of innovative, integrated cardiovascular care delivery.
