Mario’s Medical Journey
Mario and his wife recently immigrated to the United States from Mexico, and Curaechoice was their first experience with a healthcare program in the U.S. As a 40-year Mercedes-Benz employee who had worked in Mexico and Brazil, Mario was surprised by the level of coverage Curaechoice provided. His primary medical concern was sleep apnea,
which was causing shortness of breath, interrupted
sleep, and daytime fatigue. He was referred to a
sleep specialist, who scheduled a full overnight sleep
study to assess his breathing and overall
sleep quality.
The first round of tests confirmed the presence of
sleep apnea, and his doctor scheduled an additional
overnight study to determine the severity of the
condition and whether a CPAP machine would
be necessary. “This is amazing coverage,”
Mario shared.
We are really happy with Curaechoice. It has definitely saved us money.
Coverage and Satisfaction
Mario emphasized that Curaechoice’s comprehensive medical coverage made it much easier to seek care compared to the healthcare options he had experienced in Brazil and Mexico. “In Brazil, healthcare was never like this. Here, everything is covered—doctor visits, imaging, and follow-up care. This is a real benefit,” he said. Mario is still undergoing testing, but he feels relieved
knowing that Curaechoice will likely cover the cost
of his CPAP machine, which can be expensive under
insurance plans.
He encourages other Mercedes-Benz employees—
especially those who are new to the United States—to
take advantage of Curaechoice and not hesitate to
seek medical care.
“It’s been a great experience so far. I didn’t expect this
level of coverage, and I’m really happy with it,” he said.
Coming to the United States from another country, I didn’t expect this kind of coverage. Curaechoice is amazing.
