# [Introducing Packages: A Better Way to Sell Bundled Care](https://blog.hint.com/product/introducing-packages-a-better-way-to-sell-bundled-care)

Direct care practices are increasingly moving beyond simple memberships.

 

Across the country, **patients are increasingly seeking direct care options that go beyond a standard recurring model**, whether that’s structured programs, one-time services, or flexible ways to engage before committing long-term.

 

At the same time, practices are looking for ways to **diversify their revenue streams** and meet those broader needs. From starter kits and session packs to programs that combine visits, labs, and products, bundled offerings are becoming a core part of how modern direct care practices deliver care and generate revenue.

 

That’s where Packages comes in — a new way to sell prepaid bundles of services and products, with built-in utilization tracking, tax handling, and revenue visibility.

 

**Sell smarter bundles: paid up front, tracked automatically.**

## **Packages: Bundles, Done Right**

The Packages feature turns bundles of services or goods into a **first-class workflow inside Hint**.

Instead of stitching together manual processes, you can now:

- Sell a bundle once
- Track usage automatically
- Give both staff and patients clear visibility into what’s included—and what’s left

It’s a simple idea, executed the right way.

 

We built Packages around three core principles:

1. **Simplicity for your team:** Sell once, track automatically, no manual processes required.
2. **Clarity for patients:** Clear “what’s included” at purchase, and visibility into what’s left.
3. **Financial accuracy: **Taxes and deferred revenue recognition handled directly in the workflow.

 

## **What You Can Do with Packages**

### 1. Create and Price Bundles Easily

Build packages that combine **services and physical goods** in one place.

- Add multiple charge items (visits, labs, products, etc.)
- Automatically generate a price with ability to customize
- Clearly show what’s included so patients understand the value

Whether it’s a new patient bundle or a multi-step program, everything is defined upfront.

 

### 2. Get Taxes and Expiration Right Automatically

Packages handles complexity behind the scenes:

- **Taxes** are calculated correctly based on each included item
- **Expiration dates** can be set at the package level

No more guessing or manual adjustments.

 

### 3. Sell with a Clean, Clear Checkout Experience

[Packages can be sold directly within Hint today](https://www.hint.com/core) for practices on the Growth Tier, making it easy for staff to offer bundled care at the point of checkout. When you sell a package:

- It appears as a **single line item on the invoice**
- Patients can see a **clear breakdown of what’s included**

This means fewer questions, fewer misunderstandings, and a more professional experience.

 

Practices can also enable **patients to purchase packages directly through the patient portal **(in beta), unlocking self-serve purchasing for programs, bundles, and retail offerings, without adding operational overhead to your team.

 

### 4. Track Redemption and Remaining Balance in Real Time

As items are used:

- They’re **automatically redeemed from the package**
- The system tracks **what’s been used and what’s remaining**
- Both staff and patients can view **balance and history**

No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No “I think they have 2 visits left…”

 

### 5. Recognize Revenue the Right Way

Packages gives you flexibility in how you handle revenue:

- Recognize revenue **upfront**, or
- **Defer it** and recognize it as items are redeemed

You get clear visibility into **earned vs. remaining outstanding value** as the package is used without needing external tracking.

 

## **Built for Modern, Multi-Revenue Direct Care Practices**

Packages are especially powerful for practices that go beyond a standard membership.

Great fits include:

- **Specialty and hybrid practices** offering session bundles or treatment plans
- **Programs** like [weight loss or metabolic care](https://www.hint.com/weight-management) (visits + labs + add-ons)
- **Starter kits** that combine devices with onboarding visits
- **Practices selling physical goods** that need correct tax handling or ease in offering bulk discounts

Common examples:

- New patient bundles (consult + follow-ups)
- 3, 5, or 10 visit packs
- Device + onboarding bundles
- Program-based care packages
- Discounted lab bundle

 

## **What Makes Packages Different**

You might be thinking: *“We already sell packages using a charge item.”*

That approach lets you sell a package in name only—but it stops there.

**Packages goes further:**

- Tracks what’s included
- Tracks what’s remaining
- Shows usage history
- Handles taxes correctly
- Provides visibility into what’s selling and what patients are actually utilizing
- Supports compliant revenue reporting

In short: it turns a workaround into a real system.

 

## **A Better Way to Sell Care**

Packages aren't just a feature, it’s a shift in how practices can structure and deliver care.

It enables:

- More flexible pricing and care models
- Clear value for patients
- Scalable offerings beyond memberships
- Cleaner operations and reporting

All without adding complexity to your team.
