High and Varying Costs of Medications for Various Health Issues

The costs

  • PTSD Treatment Average Cost: **$500 to $10,000+ Per Month
  • Cost for Prescription with Curaechoice: $0 Copay

Randy’s Pharmacy Experience

Randy, a retired undercover narcotics officer from Birmingham, Alabama, faced a complex mix of health challenges, including an ulcer, high blood pressure, and PTSD from his past life in law enforcement. His prescription needs were extensive, and before using Curaechoice through his new employer, managing the costs placed a significant financial burden on him.

“I was constantly worrying about how much my medications would cost each month. Blue Cross would fluctuate, and it was worse than the stock market,” Randy explains.

However, his experience changed when Mercedes-Benz introduced Curaechoice. He not only took advantage of the healthcare offerings but quickly transitioned to using the pharmacy program, which also resulted in remarkable savings.

The pharmacy program has been a god send —it’s saving me hundreds of dollars in copays every month.

Coverage and satisfaction

Costco in Hoover, AL, was quick to onboard with Curaechoice, making the initial process smooth and easy. Soon after, additional local pharmacies closer to home, such as Publix, also became part of the network.

“It’s been easy,” Randy says, adding that his medications are ready when he receives a text alert, and pickup is hassle-free.

No more worrying about costs—he estimates that the pharmacy program saves him hundreds of dollars per month, with all of his medications fully covered. “Every time I go to pick up my meds, I think about how much money I’m saving. I just call in, pick them up, and I’m done. It’s that simple.” The program is easy to use, and prescription refills are a breeze, with records readily available to the pharmacist.

You don’t even have to show any ID card or flash your phone—it’s just in their system. All of your meds can go through the same pharmacy, which is close to home. It’s super streamlined and convenient. Blue Cross was like rolling the dice —you never knew what you’d pay. With Curaechoice, everything is predictable, and I save every time.
