Delayed Surgical Care Due to High Deductibles Alongside Women’s Preventive Care and Major Procedure Costs

The costs

  • Cost with insurance: $2,000+ out-of-pocket
  • Cost without insurance: $15,000–$30,000+
  • Cost with Curaechoice: $0

Addison’s Medical Experience

Addison had been enrolled in Curaechoice for several years before she fully realized how impactful the benefit could be. With insurance, she found herself delaying care due to high deductibles and out-of-pocket costs—especially when it came to more serious procedures.

That changed when Addison learned she needed a hysterectomy. Under her standard plan, the procedure would have required at least $2,000 out of pocket, making it difficult to move forward. Through Curaechoice, she was able to access the surgery without the financial barrier that had previously kept her from addressing the issue.

In addition to the hysterectomy, Addison also completed her first mammogram using Curaechoice. Having preventive care covered removed the hesitation she had felt in the past and allowed her to focus on her long-term health rather than the cost of screening.

Coverage and satisfaction

Addison describes her experience with Curaechoice providers as consistently positive. From scheduling to care delivery, the process was straightforward, and she felt supported throughout each step. Most importantly, the care had a significant impact on her daily life.

“It’s been absolutely life-changing,” she said. By eliminating the cost barriers that had caused her to delay treatment, Curaechoice allowed Addison to take control of her health with confidence. Instead of weighing symptoms against expenses, she now feels empowered to seek care when it’s needed.

For Addison, Curaechoice didn’t just reduce medical bills—it made critical care possible.
