Cura Wellness Memberships

No. Membership is completely optional. You can choose a Cura Membership or continue with Pay-As-You-Go care — whichever fits you best.

Absolutely. Pay-As-You-Go patients are still Cura Wellness patients. You'll continue receiving weight-management care through individually scheduled and paid visits.

Membership provides ongoing support and medication-management access between visits — priority messaging, refill support, prior authorization assistance, rewards, discounts and included visits or services based on your level. With Pay-As-You-Go, care is provided during scheduled visits only, routine messages are answered within 72 hours, and there is no refill or medication management between visits.

Prime fits patients who have reached their goal or need less frequent follow-up. Preferred fits patients actively working toward weight-management goals who want monthly accountability. Premier fits patients who want the highest level of access, convenience and wellness support. Still unsure? Contact the Cura team and we'll help you choose.

Your membership works for you every day — not just on visit days. Between quarterly visits, Prime members still receive priority messaging, medication refill support, prior authorization assistance, member discounts, free shipping on eligible compounded medications and access to the Cura Rewards Program.

No. Medication costs are not included in the monthly membership price unless specifically included as part of a Cura promotion. Members do receive tier-specific discounts and free shipping on eligible compounded medications.

Members can request refills of eligible medications between appointments instead of waiting for their next visit. Prescriptions, medication changes and refills are always subject to provider review and medical appropriateness, and controlled medications are excluded.

For members, yes — at the discretion of the Cura provider and subject to medical appropriateness. Controlled medications are excluded. For Pay-As-You-Go patients, Cura will not prescribe or refill medications prescribed or managed by another provider.

Members receive a response to routine messages by the end of the business day. Pay-As-You-Go routine messages are answered within 72 hours.

No. Priority Saturday appointments are based on availability and are not guaranteed. Members receive priority for available slots, and Premier members receive the highest priority.

When a same-day opening exists, Premier members get first access to it. Same-day appointments are based on availability and are not guaranteed.

No. Prior authorization assistance does not guarantee approval or insurance coverage. Our team prepares and submits the paperwork, but the insurance company makes the final coverage decision.

Every quarter, Cura hosts a member event. All members are invited — Prime and Preferred members pay a small member fee, and Premier members' admission is included in their membership.

Premier membership includes two complimentary telemedicine visits for acute sick concerns — so when something comes up, you can be seen virtually without an extra visit charge.

Yes. Contact the Cura team and we'll help you move to the level that fits your current needs.

Just contact the Cura team and we'll take care of it. Keep in mind that canceling ends your locked-in introductory rate — see the next question.

Your introductory rate stays locked in only while you maintain continuous membership. If you cancel and later rejoin, the membership price available at that time will apply.

Many patients use HSA/FSA funds for eligible medical services. Eligibility rules vary by plan, so please check with your plan administrator — our team is happy to provide documentation for your records.

Included visits and services are designed to be used within their monthly or quarterly period and don't accumulate. We encourage members to keep their scheduled visits — they're a key part of your care plan.
