Kailah’s Medical Experience

Kailah began using Curaechoice earlier this year after learning about the program through her job at an auto manufacturer. Once she reviewed what Curaechoice offered, she realized it covered many of the healthcare needs that mattered to her and decided to start using it right away

One of her first medical needs came when she became sick with what felt like a summer cold. Along with feeling unwell, Kailah began experiencing severe headaches. She decided to visit an urgent care facility within the Curaechoice network.

At urgent care, Kailah received an exam and a shot for pain and inflammation to help address her symptoms. Because of the severity of her headaches, the provider also ordered a CT scan of her head. Curaechoice covered the scan, and Kailah did not have to pay anything out of pocket.

I just went to urgent care and received no bills.

Although the scan did not show anything serious at the time

Kailah appreciated being able to get imaging done quickly. Being able to manage appointments based on need and not avoided due to cost allowed her to rule out more serious concerns and focus on recovery.

In addition to urgent care, Kailah also used Curaechoice to see a dermatologist. The visit and prescribed medication were covered, making it easy to follow through on treatment without worrying about cost. “I have not had any copays or deductibles while using Curaechoice.”

While her headaches still come and go, Kailah plans to seek a second opinion through another Curaechoice provider in Birmingham next year. With Curaechoice, she notes, she feels confident pursuing further evaluation when needed.

Overall, Kailah says Curaechoice has been easy to use and reliable. “I haven’t had any problems with it,” she said. Knowing care is covered has made her more comfortable using healthcare services when issues arise.
