Fetches a care plan template by its ID.

A **care plan** is a template for recurring veterinary care that can be offered to patients. Care plans come in two types:

- **Core Plans**: A plan for some defined period of time that typically include a physical exam, vaccinations, and other routine care.
- **Add-ons**: Optional plans purchased in addition to a core plan (e.g., 12 months of flea and tick prevention).

These are organization-level templates. To see which patients are enrolled in care plans, use the patient care plans endpoints.
