Curative Cash Card

Overview

What do you do when insured members are being denied coverage because providers don't recognize the name? Outside of Austin, Curative's name recognition was pretty much zero. This resulted in provider's sometimes denying coverage or not charging the negotiated rate.

As a startup we could only field so many lengthy service calls from frustrated members before we came up with a way around the problem — give every member a credit card via Stripe we covered so they could self-pay when denied coverage.

Working directly with the CEO and our compliance teamn I led the frantic design of the physical cards and digital wallet, as well as the member facing and administration interfaces.
