Expected High Cost of Vision Care

Wesley’s Vision Journey

Wesley, a Mercedes-Benz employee of four years, learned about the Curaechoice Vision program through his job. As someone who wears contact lenses, he was eager to see how the program compared to his past experiences using insurance.

He scheduled his appointment with Box Eye Care in Tuscaloosa and found the process to be seamless. “They pulled everything up for me—I didn’t have to do anything,” Wesley said.

His visit included a full eye exam, and he was fitted for a new set of contacts. Unlike previous years, where he had to wait for his lenses to be ordered, this time he was able to take them home immediately. “I got my contacts the same day, right from the doctor’s office,” he said.

Coverage and Satisfaction

Before enrolling in Curaechoice, Wesley recalled paying over $100 out of pocket for a similar visit under his insurance plan. With Curaechoice, he paid nothing. “The savings definitely add up,” he said.

Wesley encourages his fellow Mercedes employees to take advantage of the program, especially if they are used to paying out-of-pocket for vision care. “I say try it out—it worked well for me,” he said.

With the lack of copay and deductibles, and same-day service, Wesley’s experience with the Curaechoice Vision program was smooth and carried zero out-of-pocket costs, making it a valuable benefit for those seeking quality eye care.
With insurance we were paying more than $100 for contacts. With Curaechoice, there was no cost and I got my contacts the same day as the exam.
