Care Packages

A Care Package is an annual, focused clinical plan for patients who want less than the full monthly membership. Each package targets a specific need, like a second opinion, a strategic audit, or a focused physical, with a fixed annual price and clear deliverables.

A Care Package is for someone who wants high-quality, expert care as a lighter yearly plan than the full monthly membership. It is also useful for people whose primary doctor is great for routine care, but who want a deeper review for one specific problem.

A Care Package is an annual plan with a defined scope and a set number of visits a year. A membership is a monthly relationship with unlimited visits, secure messaging, and longitudinal care. Care Packages can roll over into membership if you decide you want the fuller, continuous care.

We do not bill insurance for Care Packages. Pricing is transparent and paid directly to the practice. Some lab work and imaging can still be sent through your insurance separately, and we are happy to help with that coordination.

A Care Package does not include the cost of lab work or imaging. The package covers Dr. Ash's clinical work at Fishtown Medicine: the focused visit, ordering the right tests, interpreting them, and building your plan. The lab tests and any imaging (X-rays, MRIs, CTs) are ordered through your insurance or at Fishtown Medicine's negotiated cash-pay rates and billed separately, so they are not part of the package price. Standard panels, advanced cardiometabolic markers, and hormone panels can all be ordered this way as part of your workup.

Most Care Package visits are scheduled within one to two weeks. Urgent second opinions can sometimes be arranged sooner. After booking, you receive intake forms and lab orders, so the visit itself is focused on strategy.

If you want to become a member after a Care Package, you can convert at any time. We help you move from the annual package onto the monthly membership whenever it makes sense for you.
