Costs Associated with His Wife’s High-Risk Pregnancy

Elijah's medical journey

Elijah, a 22-year-old Team Member at Mercedes-Benz in Vance, Alabama, discovered Curaechoice through his employer’s benefits program. With the happy news of his wife’s pregnancy, Elijah was intrigued by the prospect of utilizing the Curaechoice healthcare program. “At the time, with my wife being pregnant, we felt we needed to take care of whatever was offered.”

Elijah and his wife soon discovered that their preferred hospital, Brookwood Women’s Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama, accepted Curaechoice, bringing them a feeling of relief. “With some exceptions, they were able to handle all of her doctor visits and sonograms.” He noted that his wife’s pregnancy was high risk due to an earlier pregnancy that ended in miscarriage and said he was grateful that Curaechoice would be covering all costs, including any additional imaging and specialists visits that were needed along with labor and delivery.


Curaechoice came in at the right time, just when we were about to start paying some things out-of-pocket and we saved thousands of dollars.
