Curative Insurance Supports Primary Care Visits at Z‑2‑H

Confirm Network Status, Benefits, and Costs Before Scheduling

Curative health-plan member reviewing primary-care information with a Z‑2‑H Family Med and Urgent Care Clinic healthcare professional in Texas.

Curative members may be able to use their health-plan benefits for eligible services at Z‑2‑H Family Med & Urgent Care Clinic®.

Z‑2‑H offers primary care, urgent care, annual physicals, chronic-condition management, preventive care, laboratory services, and other appropriate medical services.

However, Curative plans and networks can differ. Members should confirm the clinic, treating healthcare professional, location, and requested service before scheduling.

Visit the Z‑2‑H Curative insurance page to review information about receiving care with your Curative plan.

Does Z‑2‑H Accept Curative Insurance?

Z‑2‑H lists Curative among the insurance plans it accepts. The Curative insurance page identifies primary care, urgent care, allergy testing, hormone therapy, STD testing, earwax cleaning, weight-management services, and other services that may be available.

Acceptance of Curative insurance does not automatically confirm that every plan, healthcare professional, clinic, or service is in network.

Before your appointment, verify:

• Your Curative coverage is active.

• Z‑2‑H participates with your specific Curative network.

• The treating healthcare professional is in network.

• The clinic location participates with your plan.

• Your requested service is covered.

• A referral or prior authorization is required.

• You have completed any applicable Curative plan requirements.

• Laboratory testing has separate benefits.

• Imaging and specialist services have separate benefits.

• Your pharmacy and medication are covered.

• You understand your expected financial responsibility.

Insurance verification is not a guarantee of payment. Final claim processing depends on active eligibility, network participation, medical necessity, benefit limitations, and the services provided.

Curative Networks Changed in 2026

Curative reports that, beginning January 1, 2026, it no longer contracts through the Aetna or First Health wrap network. Curative now uses the Cigna Healthcare PPO Network or its Curative Wrap Solution, which includes the HealthSmart Preferred Network.

Because network arrangements can change, do not rely on information from an older insurance card, previous appointment, or outdated provider directory.

Confirm that:

• Your current identification card has the correct network information.

• Your selected Z‑2‑H location appears in the current network.

• The specific healthcare professional appears in the network.

• Your benefit information reflects your current plan year.

• You have received a reference number for the verification.

If your card or member portal shows an older network, contact Curative Member Services before scheduling.

What Is the Curative Baseline Visit?

Some Curative health plans require members to complete a Baseline Visit within a specified period after plan activation.

Curative’s member portal currently advises members to complete the Baseline Visit within 120 days of plan activation to maintain the plan’s $0 out-of-pocket benefit.

Requirements may vary by plan. Ask Curative:

• Does my plan require a Baseline Visit?

• Have I completed the requirement?

• What is my completion deadline?

• Has Curative recorded my visit?

• Will missing the deadline change my benefits?

• Does my current appointment qualify as a Baseline Visit?

• Must the visit be scheduled through Curative?

Do not assume that a routine primary-care appointment automatically satisfies the Baseline Visit requirement. Obtain confirmation directly from Curative.

Does Curative Always Mean a Zero-Dollar Visit?

Curative promotes qualifying plans with no copay, deductible, or out-of-pocket cost for eligible in-network care. However, those benefits depend on the member’s exact plan, network status, completion of applicable requirements, and the service received.

A service may still involve a cost when:

• The clinic or healthcare professional is out of network.

• The member uses a service not covered by the plan.

• Prior authorization was required but not obtained.

• The Baseline Visit requirement was not completed.

• A plan limitation or exclusion applies.

• Laboratory testing is processed by an out-of-network laboratory.

• Imaging is completed at an out-of-network facility.

• A medication is not covered by the formulary.

• An outside specialist does not participate with the plan.

• The patient receives services beyond the covered appointment.

Always confirm benefits before receiving non-emergency care.

Primary Care for Curative Members

Primary care helps patients manage both immediate concerns and long-term health needs.

Depending on your medical history and benefit eligibility, a primary-care appointment may address:

• Routine checkups

• Annual physicals

• Preventive screenings

• Blood-pressure monitoring

• Diabetes screening and management

• Cholesterol evaluation

• Thyroid concerns

• Medication review

• Prescription refills when appropriate

• Mental-health concerns

• Weight-related health risks

• Women’s and men’s health

• Follow-up after an urgent-care or emergency visit

• Chronic-condition management

• Laboratory recommendations

• Imaging referrals

• Specialist referrals

The Z‑2‑H Curative page describes primary care as including routine checkups, preventive services, and management of conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and asthma.

Why Establish a Primary Care Professional?

Primary care provides continuity instead of treating each health concern as an isolated event.

An established primary care professional can:

• Review changes in your health over time

• Monitor chronic conditions

• Compare current and previous laboratory results

• Review medications and possible interactions

• Discuss preventive screenings

• Coordinate specialist referrals

• Review hospital and emergency-room records

• Address new symptoms

• Help create an individualized care plan

• Provide follow-up after treatment

Having a regular source of care can also make it easier to organize medical records and identify when a new symptom represents a meaningful change.

Can Curative Members Schedule Annual Physicals?

An annual physical may include:

• Medical-history review

• Family-history review

• Medication and allergy review

• Blood-pressure measurement

• Weight and body-mass-index assessment

• Heart and lung examination

• General physical examination

• Mental-health discussion

• Lifestyle review

• Preventive-screening recommendations

• Laboratory recommendations

• Follow-up planning

Coverage for annual physicals and preventive services depends on the plan and services performed.

Even when the preventive appointment is covered, additional concerns discussed during the visit may be billed separately. Laboratory tests, procedures, imaging, medications, and follow-up services can also have separate benefits.

Before scheduling, ask Curative whether the visit is considered preventive, whether your chosen provider is in network, and whether any services require separate authorization.

Can Z‑2‑H Help Manage Chronic Conditions?

Primary care may help monitor and manage conditions such as:

• High blood pressure

• Diabetes

• High cholesterol

• Asthma

• Thyroid disorders

• Arthritis

• Chronic pain

• Migraine

• Gastrointestinal conditions

• Anxiety or depression

• Weight-related health concerns

• Other ongoing medical conditions

The care plan may include regular appointments, laboratory monitoring, medication management, lifestyle guidance, and referrals.

Treatment is individualized. A specific medication, procedure, test, or referral is not guaranteed and depends on the healthcare professional’s medical judgment.

Are Laboratory Tests Covered?

Laboratory testing is generally separate from the office appointment.

Testing may be recommended to:

• Evaluate symptoms

• Monitor medication safety

• Screen for diabetes

• Review cholesterol levels

• Assess thyroid function

• Monitor kidney or liver health

• Evaluate blood counts

• Investigate possible infection

• Review vitamin or iron levels

• Support preventive care

Before completing testing, confirm:

• The requested test is covered.

• The laboratory is in network.

• Prior authorization is not required.

• Your plan requires a designated laboratory.

• The laboratory will submit a separate claim.

• Your Baseline Visit status affects laboratory benefits.

• You understand any expected cost.

A covered appointment does not automatically mean that every laboratory test is covered.

Are Prescriptions Included?

A Z‑2‑H healthcare professional may prescribe medication when medically appropriate and permitted by applicable prescribing requirements.

Prescription costs and coverage are determined by your Curative pharmacy benefits.

Before filling a prescription, confirm:

• The pharmacy is in network.

• The medication is on the formulary.

• Prior authorization is not required.

• Step therapy does not apply.

• A generic option is available when appropriate.

• The medication qualifies for a zero-dollar benefit, if applicable.

• You understand your expected cost.

Curative members can review medication coverage and participating pharmacies through the member portal.

What If You Need Imaging or Specialist Care?

A primary care professional may recommend imaging or specialist evaluation when additional care is needed.

Possible referrals may include:

• Cardiology

• Gastroenterology

• Rheumatology

• Endocrinology

• Orthopedics

• Dermatology

• Ear, nose, and throat care

• Women’s health

• Behavioral health

• Physical therapy

• Diagnostic imaging

• Other specialty services

Before scheduling an outside service, confirm that the specialist or facility participates with your current Curative network.

Ask whether:

• A referral is required.

• Prior authorization is required.

• The specialist is in network.

• The facility is in network.

• The imaging interpretation will be performed by an in-network professional.

• Laboratory or pathology services are billed separately.

• Your plan has location-specific requirements.
