High Costs of Endoscopy and Colonoscopy

Chet’s Medical Journey

Chet, a retired Mercedes-Benz team member, has used Curaechoice for multiple procedures, including an endoscopy and colonoscopy at Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama.

The initial process was relatively easy—he presented his Curaechoice app, the procedures were scheduled, and everything was done in one visit. “They did both at the same time, which saved a lot of hassle,” Chet explained.


The cost savings are worth it, and the process has been easy.

Coverage and Satisfaction

Beyond the procedures, Chet also appreciated the seamless digital experience. “There were no copays, no bills, nothing,” he said. “It was a completely zero-cost experience.” Chet’s wife has also had medical needs, including kidney stone issues. While her most recent episode was at a non-network hospital, he noted that it highlighted the contrast between in-network and out-of- network experiences.

“She went to the ER, waited three to four hours without getting treated, and left with only an IV—but still got a bill for about $500,” he said. “If she had been at a Curaechoice provider, I know it would’ve been different.” Chet strongly encourages anyone eligible to explore their Curaechoice benefits.
