Tameika’s Medical Experience
Tameika first learned about Curaechoice from a coworker who mentioned she hadn’t paid anything out of pocket during her own pregnancy. Curious, Tameika looked into the benefit and quickly scheduled her pregnancy confirmation appointment at a hospital clinic close to home. “From the beginning everything was covered,” she said. “Every appointment, every ultrasound—zero out of pocket.”
Not long after, she discovered she was carrying boy-and-girl twins. “I was shocked at first,” she said. “I didn’t know what to say. I was happy and scared and excited all at once.” Her pregnancy progressed normally until she suddenly began experiencing early contractions.
In late January of 2025, weeks before her due date, she went into premature labor and was hospitalized for nearly two weeks. She stabilized and was discharged, but around Valentine’s Day the contractions returned, prompting another hospitalization.
“I was supposed to have them in April,” she said. “But my body was already trying to have the babies early.” After the second stay, doctors placed her on extreme bed rest. “They told me I could barely get up except to use the bathroom,” she said. “By the time I got to 35 weeks, even walking to the bathroom hurt.”
She finally called her doctor and told him she couldn’t take it anymore. “I was barely able to walk to the bathroom. I knew I couldn’t wait much longer.” Her medical team recommended a scheduled C-section, and Tameika agreed. The delivery went smoothly, and she welcomed healthy boy-and-girl twins without NICU time. Every part of her care—prenatal appointments, imaging, monitoring, the two hospitalizations, and the C-section itself—was fully covered at no cost. “I didn’t get a single bill,” she said. “Not one.”
The savings were substantial. When she delivered her older child before joining Curaechoice, she paid about $1,500 out of pocket under her previous insurance. “It was a lot of money,” she said. “This time, I didn’t have to touch my savings or my kids’ Christmas money. Curaechoice helped a lot.”
Today she has four children—ages nine, eight, one, and the twins—and all receive their routine and urgent care visits through Curaechoice. “I use it for everything with the kids,” she said. “Urgent care, regular doctor visits—zero out of pocket. It’s helped us so much.”
Tameika works on the assembly line in the body
shop at a local manufacturing plant, and she
encourages her coworkers to use the benefit. “A lot
of people don’t realize everything it covers, so I tell
them about it,” she said. “I even helped my partner,
who works at the same plant, get on it. Now he
uses Curaechoice too.”
I didn’t get a single bill—even with twins and two hospital stays.
Coverage and Satisfaction
Tameika considers Curaechoice life-changing.
“I tell everybody it’s real zero-cost healthcare,” she
said. “It helped me through a high-risk pregnancy,
two hospital stays, and a C-section without
paying anything. I would give it a 10 out of 10.”
I tell everyone at work to use it. It helps more than people realize.
