High prescription costs and difficulty accessing affordable vision care for her teen daughter

The costs

  • Cost for Glasses and Contact Lens with Curaechoice: $180 Copay

Theodora’s Vision Experience with Curaechoice

Theodora’s 17 year old daughter has worn prescription glasses for years, but the costs had always been overwhelming. Before Curaechoice, one pair of high-end glasses typically cost $400-$500 out of pocket. With Curaechoice, she was able to visit their local optometrist office in Tuscaloosa and get both a new pair of glasses and a contact lens fitting at a fraction of the cost.

At their local optometrist office, her daughter received a full eye exam, selected a stylish new pair of glasses, and completed a contact lens fitting. While Curaechoice provided significant cost savings, Theodora chose to pay extra for premium frames—bringing her total out-of-pocket cost to just $180, down from what would have been $500+.

Although their local optometrist office initially struggled with processing Curaechoice because they didn’t understand what it was, Theodora, with her background in medical billing, was able to help educate the staff on how to file the claim properly. Once the system recognized Curaechoice, the process was smooth for future visits.
My daughter’s vision changes frequently, so I take her to the eye doctor every six months. I used to pay everything out of pocket, but Curaechoice made it so much easier and way more affordable!

Coverage and Satisfaction

Theodora and her daughter were extremely satisfied with the Curaechoice Vision Program. Having access to affordable eyewear, frequent check-ups, and quality care has been a huge relief.
I tell everyone at Mercedes-Benz—this program is legit. The savings are real. If you need glasses, contacts, or any medical care, use Curaechoice before you end up paying way more somewhere else!
