Redefining the Healthcare Landscape, Curative’s Groundbreaking $0 Cost-Sharing Plan Earns Global Recognition

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Curative Health Insurance Company is proud to have been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations to set new standards and achieve remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy.

"It is an honor to be recognized alongside such innovative and transformative companies. This acknowledgment validates our efforts to transform health insurance and reinforces our commitment to eliminating financial barriers for our members," said Fred Turner, Curative's Co-founder and CEO.

Since Curative Health Insurance was launched two and a half years ago, it has been a vanguard in introducing several groundbreaking initiatives. The first-of-its-kind $0 cost-sharing health plan, designed to ensure that every member receives the care they need without copays or deductibles, is a testament to Curative’s commitment to making healthcare accessible and affordable.* As countless testimonials have validated, this innovation has not only set a new industry standard but also positively impacted the well-being of thousands of individuals.

In addition, the company’s more recent introduction of such innovative features such as the Curative Zero Card and the PPO-Max plan, have also been pivotal in pioneering totally novel supportive offerings that help keep members healthy and productive.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies stands as Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.

“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future,” said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. “This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward.”
