High Blood Pressure and Need for Bariatric Surgery

The costs

  • Bariatric Surgery Average Cost: $17,000 and $26,000**
  • Cost for Bariatric Surgery with Curaechoice: $0 Out-of-Pocket Expenses

Tamera's medical journey

Tamera, an employee at Mercedes-Benz, discovered Curaechoice through her employer. Facing severe health concerns due to high blood pressure, she explored medical options and was astonished to learn that Curaechoice covered bariatric surgery at 100%—including all hospital and prescription costs.

Before Curaechoice, the idea of such a procedure seemed financially impossible. With estimates for bariatric surgery exceeding $50,000, Tamera assumed she would receive a hefty bill post-surgery. However, she was reassured by both her doctor and Curaechoice that she would never see an unexpected charge. This assurance provided her with the confidence to move forward with a life-changing procedure.

Make Curaechoice your first choice. You won’t be disappointed.

Coverage and satisfaction

Tamera describes her experience with Curaechoice as exceptional. The app was intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing her to access care efficiently. Member support exceeded her expectations, ensuring every question was answered and every concern addressed promptly.

During her hospital stay, she was relieved to find that every aspect of her care—from the surgery itself to prescriptions and post-op visits—was fully covered. There was no financial stress, allowing her to focus entirely on her recovery.

Since her surgery, Tamera has had multiple follow-up appointments, all paid for by Curaechoice. The financial security provided by the program has drastically improved her quality of life. No longer burdened by the fear of high medical expenses, she feels empowered to take control of her health.
