Cost of Medications for Migraines, Muscle Pain, Pain Management After Shoulder Injuries, and Skin Issues

The costs

  • Cost of prescriptions with insurance: $150 – $400 per month
  • Cost without insurance: $500 – $1,200
  • Cost with Curaechoice: $0

Julie’s Pharmacy Journey

Julie first discovered the Curaechoice Pharmacy program while managing multiple prescriptions for herself and family members. At the time, she and her husband were both recovering from serious shoulder injuries—her husband after surgery for a complete rotator cuff and bicep tear, and Julie from a partial tear she was determined to rehabilitate without surgery. With physical therapy as the cornerstone of their recoveries, prescription medications played a vital role in managing pain and muscle tension along the way – as well as migraines.

For Julie, migraine relief is a top priority. Using her Curaechoice benefit, she fills her Ajovy and Nurtec prescriptions affordably and receives Cyclobenzaprine at zero out-of-pocket cost— especially helpful for managing muscle pain during her shoulder rehabilitation.

Her husband’s recovery has also been supported by the program. Diclofenac, an anti- inflammatory drug, provides safe, effective pain management, helping him tolerate the physical therapy sessions that are key to his long-term progress after surgery. The couple views these prescriptions as essential tools and are grateful for the zero-copay aspect of Curaechoice.

The Curaechoice coverage extends beyond their immediate injuries. Their teenage son also sees a dermatologist they discovered through Curaechoice, with prescriptions for acne medications covered at zero cost. For the family, this adds another layer of reassurance: consistent access to treatment without financial stress or skipped doses.

Coverage and Satisfaction

For her, the real benefit is not just cost elimination but peace of mind. She doesn’t have to worry about whether to fill a prescription or skip it because of price. And she knows that as their care continues—whether for migraines, pain management, or dermatology— the zero-cost aspect will remain in place.

“Using Curaechoice has been very simple. We save up to $100 a month,” Julie says. That combination of affordability, convenience, and security makes the pharmacy benefit one of the most valuable parts of the program for her entire family.
Curaechoice takes the stress out of prescriptions—I never have to choose between paying bills and managing pain.
