1%Curative, an Austin-based health insurer, has launched Zero First, a health plan that reverses the traditional deductible. The plan pays first, covering eligible in-network care in full up to a set amount. Members then pay a percentage of further costs, up to an annual out-of-pocket maximum. Preventive care, primary care, telehealth, urgent care, and outpatient behavioural health and substance use services stay at $0 all year. Under the EPO design, the plan covers the first $2,500 per person, then members pay 30% up to an $8,000 maximum. The PPO option covers $5,000, then 25% up to $6,350. Curative's modelling suggests about 69% of EPO members and 78% of PPO members would have paid $0 for in-network medical care in 2025, against an estimated 24% under a typical $3,000-deductible plan. Zero First is open to eligible level-funded employer groups with effective dates from December 1, 2026.
Ember Health is now in-network with Curative insurance. Ember Health Published: October 9, 2026 Eight years ago, Ember Health founded Ember Health around a simple conviction: people living with depression deserve access to the most effective care available, delivered safely, thoughtfully, and as a normal part of their healthcare. Today, Ember Health is taking one of the most important steps yet toward realizing that vision. Ember Health is proud to announce that Ember Health is now an in-network provider with Curative, making the full cost of care at Ember covered for eligible Curative members. This is Ember's first direct in-network health insurance contract, and a milestone Ember Health has been working toward since Ember Health opened its doors. Making exceptional care normal care. Its mission at Ember is to define and expand access to the gold standard of IV ketamine care for depression. For years, one of the greatest barriers to fulfilling the second half of that mission has been a lack of in-network insurance coverage of this treatment. This is not for lack of evidence or outcomes. In fact, IV ketamine has been the most studied drug for depression over the past 30 years, and demonstrated a 75% efficacy rate for depression, making it one of the most effective treatment solutions for a condition that affects 1 in 9 American adults. The slow pace of coverage is because ketamine is a generic medication, one that lacks a fiscal sponsor with the FDA. Despite the meaningful relief IV ketamine provides people living with depression, access to treatment has too often depended on a patient's ability to pay upfront, and navigate out-of-network reimbursement. Ember Health has always believed it should be different. Depression is a medical issue. Ember Health believe that treatment for it should be integrated into the normal healthcare system alongside the other care people rely on to get well and stay well. Being in-network means IV ketamine treatment at Ember can become just that for Curative members: part of their regular healthcare. Why Curative. Curative is an employer-sponsored commercial health plan built around an unusually straightforward idea: remove the financial barriers that keep people from getting the care they need. Members who complete Curative's annual Baseline Visit within the required timeframe receive covered in-network care with $0 copays, $0 deductibles, and $0 out-of-pocket costs. Curative describes its model as one centered on affordability, engagement, and simplicity, with Care Navigators helping members connect with providers and stay engaged in their health. That model creates an important alignment of incentives. Ember wants to help people address depression with the most effective and safest care possible, and then help them maintain those gains over time. Employers want their employees healthy and engaged. Curative is designed to encourage people to seek appropriate care early rather than delaying treatment because of cost and potentially requiring more complex and expensive care later. In other words, everyone benefits when patients get the right care, at the right time, and stay well. What this means for Curative members. For eligible Curative members, accessing Ember is now significantly simpler. Curative members can verify their eligibility and in-network benefits through Curative before beginning treatment. Members who have completed their required Baseline Visit can receive covered in-network care at Ember, without copays, deductibles, or other out-of-pocket costs, subject to their specific plan benefits and any applicable coverage requirements. Ember bills Curative directly, rather than asking patients to pay for treatment and pursue reimbursement themselves. The future Ember Health imagined eight years ago was never one in which IV ketamine remained an alternative treatment, available primarily to people who could afford it outside of the traditional healthcare system. It was a future in which high-quality IV ketamine care became an accepted, accessible, normal part of how Ember Health address depression. Its partnership with Curative brings Ember Health meaningfully closer to that future - and Ember Health hope it is the first of many. If you are a patient or prospective patient with Curative benefits, please contact Ember Health here and Ember Health can help you determine if you are eligible for care at Ember Health. Ember Health provide evidence-based IV ketamine treatment for depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. Schedule a free consultation call to learn more.

Why Kap Rate Living is building its own systems. The future of real estate technology should fit the brokerage - not force the brokerage to fit the software. A recent article about health insurance company Curative caught its attention. According to the report, Curative ended a Salesforce contract that cost approximately $600,000 per year after building its own internal customer relationship management system in about two months. The story is not simply about replacing Salesforce or cutting a large software bill. It points to a much bigger shift: companies are beginning to question whether a collection of expensive, disconnected platforms is still the best way to operate when modern technology makes it increasingly possible to build systems around the business itself. That idea closely reflects what Kap Rate Living is doing at Kap Rate Living. Real estate agents have adapted to fragmented technology for too long. In a traditional brokerage environment, an agent may need one platform for leads, another for transactions, another for compliance, another for marketing, another for training, and still another place to communicate with the brokerage. Each product may solve an individual problem, but the complete experience is often fragmented. Agents repeat data entry, search through different dashboards, manage multiple logins, and adjust their workflow to match software that was designed for thousands of companies - not specifically for their brokerage. Kap Rate Living believe the technology should adapt to the agent. That is why Kap Rate Living is building a connected operating environment shaped by the way its agents and staff actually work. Its systems are being built around the complete agent experience. Its technology strategy is not based on creating software simply for the sake of owning software. It is based on solving the everyday problems Kap Rate Living see inside a modern real estate brokerage. Its growing ecosystem includes: Kap Rate Virtual Office, a central home for brokerage resources, team access, quick actions, support, company information, and digital tools. KRK+, its transaction and compliance platform, designed to help agents and brokerage staff manage files, checklists, documents, reviews, and transaction progress in one organized workflow. Kap Flow, its lead-management environment for capturing and organizing opportunities so agents can respond and follow up more effectively. Rather than forcing agents to piece together unrelated products, Kap Rate Living is working toward systems that communicate with one another and support the entire journey - from receiving a lead and marketing the agent's business to managing a transaction and maintaining brokerage compliance. Custom does not mean technology for technology's sake. The Curative story also included an important reality: building an internal system creates an ongoing responsibility to maintain it. That is a point every company should take seriously. Buying outside software can be the right choice when a platform already does the job well. Building becomes valuable when it solves a meaningful operational problem, improves the user experience, or gives the company greater control over how its business functions. At Kap Rate Living, its approach is practical. Kap Rate Living can continue using strong outside services where they make sense while developing the brokerage-specific experience that generic platforms cannot provide on their own. The goal is not to replace every vendor. The goal is to connect the right technology into a better system for its agents. Ownership creates room to improve faster. When a brokerage controls more of its technology experience, it can respond directly to its people. If agents need a simpler checklist, Kap Rate Living can improve the workflow. If the compliance team needs a clearer review queue, Kap Rate Living can design it. If agents want marketing support that already understands the Kap Rate Living brand, Kap Rate Living can build around that need. If the brokerage expands into a new market, the system can evolve with it. That ability to listen, build, test, and improve is one of the most valuable parts of owning the process. It also gives Kap Rate Living the opportunity to reduce duplicate work, create more consistent support, and develop tools that reflect how Kap Rate Living operates - not how an outside software company assumes every brokerage should operate. Kap Rate Living is building more than a brokerage. Kap Rate Living is still grounded in what matters most: helping agents serve clients, grow sustainable businesses, and complete transactions professionally. Technology does not replace relationships, judgment, local expertise, or the work of a strong real estate professional. It should remove friction around that work. The Curative story shows that even large, established software relationships are no longer automatic. Businesses are looking closely at what they pay for, how well their systems fit, and whether a more tailored solution can create greater value. Kap Rate Living is asking those same questions in real estate - and then building. Its vision is a brokerage where agents spend less time navigating disconnected platforms and more time building relationships, advising clients, marketing properties, and closing business. Every system Kap Rate Living create moves Kap Rate Living closer to that goal. At Kap Rate Living, the future is not about adding more software. It is about building a smarter, more connected brokerage - one designed around the people who use it every day.

Alta Centers now in-network with Curative health insurance. The Hollywood Hills treatment center adds Curative to accepted insurers, opening access to a plan built to remove copays and deductibles from in-network care. Cost is one of the biggest reasons people wait too long to get help, and that hesitation can be dangerous" - Anna Van Kovn LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Alta Centers, a luxury drug and alcohol treatment center in the Hollywood Hills, announced today that it is now in-network with Curative, a health insurance company known for a plan that works differently from traditional coverage. The agreement means people covered by Curative can now access Alta Centers' detox and residential treatment programs as in-network care. Curative was founded in 2020 and moved into health insurance in 2022 after an earlier chapter running one of the country's largest COVID-19 testing operations. Its plan, offered through employers, is designed so that in-network care carries no copays and no deductibles. Curative built the model on a simple premise: when people are not worrying about the cost of walking through the door, they get help sooner and small problems have less chance to become big ones. For someone facing addiction, that difference can matter a great deal. Cost and confusion are two of the most common reasons people put off treatment, and Alta Centers sees the effect of that delay every day. "Cost is one of the biggest reasons people wait too long to get help, and that hesitation can be dangerous," said Anna Van Kovn, CEO and founder of Alta Centers. "We have always been upfront about our pricing, so families know what to expect before anyone is admitted. Curative fits that same thinking from the insurance side. Their plan takes copays and deductibles off the table for in-network care, so treatment feels reachable instead of out of reach. Being in-network with them means we can say yes to more people who are ready to start." Alta Centers works with Curative members the same way it does with any client. The team verifies benefits, explains what a person's plan covers, and helps them understand their options before they commit to anything. Insurance verification is free and usually takes only a few minutes. Curative joins a roster of major insurers already accepted at Alta Centers, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of California, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Carelon. People who want to check their coverage or ask about treatment can reach Alta Centers at 888-202-2583 or visit altacenters.com. About Alta Centers Alta Centers is a luxury drug and alcohol treatment center in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. The center provides medically supervised detox and residential treatment in a private, comfortable setting, with a team that focuses on compassionate, individualized care for each person who comes through its doors.
