High Cost of Diabetes-Related Care

Chase’s Medical Journey

Chase has type 2 diabetes and receives routine care to monitor potential eye-related complications. His retinal specialist helps prevent vessel damage—sometimes performing laser treatment. Before Curaechoice, these visits were costly. "The regular visits used to be $300 each out-of-pocket. Last time, with Curaechoice it was zero.” said Chase, who is retired but still receives benefits through his former employer.

He appreciates that most appointments are fully covered and that Curaechoice helps keep medical costs manageable. In addition, he used the local urgent care center on a weekend for flu symptoms and was pleased with how fast and easy the experience was. "And I didn't have to pay anything."

Chase also shared that both his wife and son have benefited from Curaechoice for medical care. While he couldn't recall every detail he knows the savings across his household have added up quickly.
Curaechoice dropped my cost at my retina specialist from $300 down to nothing. That’s a huge difference.

Coverage and Satisfaction

Overall, Curaechoice guarantees faster access, greater transparency, and fewer billing issues. For Chase, that means more peace of mind and less time worrying about how to pay for care. He now encourages other retirees and dependents to explore Curaechoice. “This is the kind of thing people need to hear about. It really works.”
I’ve used it for urgent care. I walked in on a Sunday and they got me in and out. It was a very smooth experience.
