About The Ashley Clinic

What is The Ashley Clinic?

The Ashley Clinic is a cash-pay Direct Primary Care practice at 2400 S Hwy 29 in Cantonment, Florida. The phone number is (850) 741-3146. Direct Primary Care means patients pay a monthly membership instead of billing insurance. Membership includes unlimited office visits, unlimited virtual visits (video or phone), and direct access to its provider. Ashley Pollard, AGACNP-BC, ARNP, FNP-BC, is the prescriber and the clinic's owner. Her background includes over 30 years of medical experience, working primarily in the emergency room.

Weight management is one of the clinic's services, alongside primary care and aesthetics. The weight program is listed as Rx Weight Management, with prescription management, weigh-ins, diet counseling, and weight management labwork. In its own words: "The Ashley Clinic offers several weight management modalities and diet plans, tailored to meet each individual’s needs and expectations." The clinic does not name hormone therapy, peptide therapy, or longevity services. Its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 48 reviews.

What does it cost?

The initial visit for Rx Weight Management is $195, then $175 a month as a monthly membership. It does not publish whether that monthly fee includes medication. Lipotropic injections start with a $150 initial visit, then $95 a month with four injections included. Extra lipotropic injections cost $25 each, or $95 for four.

Primary care membership is priced by age: $65 a month for ages 19 to 44, $75 for 45 to 64, and $85 for 65 and up, each with an $80 enrollment fee. College students pay $40 a month with a valid ID, and ages 5 to 18 pay $35 with an eligible parent membership. The clinic also lists $65 a month for first responders, teachers, pastoral and healthcare workers, veterans, and Gulf Breeze and Pensacola Chamber members. Membership is payable on the 1st of every month. The clinic does not bill insurance, but it will provide an itemized form you can submit yourself. Membership does not cover specialist care or catastrophic events such as hospitalization and surgery. Cancellation terms are not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $175 monthly fee includes the medication or whether the drug is billed on top. Ask which medication Rx Weight Management uses, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. No drug is named. Ask whether the $175 is in addition to a primary care membership, since the two are listed separately. Ask what lab work, follow-up visits, and extra injections cost, and what the in-house pharmacy charges. Ask how cancellation works. Payment is due on the 1st of every month, but how to end membership is not published. Ask for office hours, which are not listed, and which states the virtual visits cover, which is not published.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay primary care membership with weight management added, and you are ready to pay out of pocket for both. It is not the right fit if you need specialist care or hospital coverage, which the membership leaves out. Members are also encouraged to carry a low-cost catastrophic health insurance plan. If you want to know the medication and its cost before booking, get those answers in writing first.
