Post-Kidney Transplant Issues + Joint Deterioration + Expensive Imaging Needs

Todd’s Medical Experience

Todd’s medical needs are complex. He received a kidney transplant in 1997 and continues to experience side effects from long-term immunosuppressant use. “I’ve had back surgery, neck surgery, and my knee replaced. It just wears you down,” he said.

He estimates he’s had at least eight imaging appointments—MRIs, CTs, and bone scans—over the last few years, all covered through Curaechoice at Tuscaloosa Radiology. “I just show them the app, and I’m in. There’s no red tape, and no copay. I walk out owing nothing,” he said. “Each one of those scans would have cost me $150 or more. It adds up fast.”


Just my scans would’ve cost over a thousand dollars. I paid nothing.

Coverage and Satisfaction

Now that Todd is retired, medical expenses are harder to manage. “When you’re working 75 hours a week, you don’t worry about a $200 scan. Now? It matters,” he said. “Curaechoice has helped me keep my health in check without excess costs for imaging. That’s huge.”
