Frequently Asked Questions
Ash has a robust and secure API integration that makes it simple to plug into the health plans infrastructure. This allows clients to easily send eligible members to Ash and for Ash to send gap closure data back to clients.
Ash can test for over 100 biomarkers that span general wellness, sexual health, hormonal health, cancer biomarkers, and more. Our vetted network of CLIA and CAP labs can provide all biomarkers that have been validated for self-collection.
Ash offers solutions that satisfy 7 different HEDIS measures. The measures inlcude COL (Colorectal Cancer Screening), GSD (HbA1c Screening), KED (Kidney Helath Screening), CCS (Cervical Cancer Screening), CHL (Chlamydia Screening), CBP and BPD (Blood Pressure).
Ash closes HEDIS care gaps by deploying at-home health tests to members that aren't up-to-date on critical preventive screenings. Ash's approach to health screening overcomes barriers to care that prevent many members from completing regluar testing, thus closing more care gaps than traditional testing methods. Ash shares HEDIS-submission ready data back with payors, enabling them to easily satisfy HEDIS measures.

We have designed programs for organizations that have reached a wide range of patients - from low income urban patients, to tech-savvy Generation Z patients, to senior citizens in rural areas.
Ash offers all health tests that are validated for patient collection from home. This includes panels that test for heart health, cancer screenings, metabolic health, hormonal health, sexually transmitted diseases, and more.

Popular tests include HbA1c for diabetes monitoring, FIT kits for colorectal cancer screening, and suitablity panels for GLP-1 weight loss medications.
Most test results are delivered within 2–3 business days after the lab receives the sample. Because our API coordinates with a distributed network of labs, we can route samples to the nearest available facility, minimizing transit time and avoiding the bottlenecks common with single-lab providers.
