Monthly Sleep Medication + Post-Surgery Pain Prescription Costs

The costs

  • Cost with insurance: $30–$50 per medication refill
  • Cost without insurance: $60–$200+ per refill depending on medication type
  • Cost with Curaechoice: $0

Judy’s Pharmacy Journey

Before Curaechoice, Judy paid $30 to $35 per month for just her Lunesta prescription to help with insomnia. As a retiree managing multiple health concerns—including recent rotator cuff and knee surgeries—those monthly costs added up fast. But after switching to Curaechoice, her prescription expenses dropped to zero. “I don’t have a copay when I pick up prescriptions anymore,” she said. “Before, I was paying over $30 every month. Now, it’s completely covered.” 

Judy also appreciates how close the in-network pharmacy is to her home. And, she’s never experienced red tape, confusion, or delays.

Coverage and Satisfaction

She also used Curaechoice to fill pain medications following both surgeries and didn’t pay a cent. “After both procedures, I went through Publix for my prescriptions, and everything was covered,” she said. Switching pharmacies to one that took Curaechoice was simple. At her first visit to Publix, she presented the Curaechoice app. The pharmacy processed her enrollment without any issues, and now she’s in their system for good. “I don’t even have to show the app anymore,” Judy explained. “They just call it up and fill my prescriptions.”

Judy’s story highlights how Curaechoice removes the financial stress of managing recurring prescriptions. “It’s wonderful coverage,” she said. “I’ve had no problems. I tell everyone I know to use it.”

Curaechoice is the best pharmacy coverage I’ve ever had.
