Surest helps family plan for new baby

First-time parents Jake and Mackenzy know all too well the excitement, and stress, of planning for a new baby. Welcoming their son, Donovan, this last year meant preparing for a big change to their lives full of unpredictability. But thanks to their Surest® health plan, the one thing they could predict was the cost of delivery and care.

“There’s so much that you have to plan for,” Mackenzey said. “Of course, the financial aspect is a very big part of it. Being able to have that out of the way right from day one is really great.”

Surest® is a health plan designed to simplify care by removing deductibles and offering clear, upfront pricing. With the Surest app, members can compare costs, review provider ratings and check coverage details ahead of seeking care, empowering them to make confident, informed decisions.

Before welcoming Donovan, the couple switched to the Surest health plan, which they say made a huge difference for their family.

“The biggest thing that we’ve really loved the most about Surest is we have a flat copay plan,” Mackenzey said. “Here’s your copay. Here’s the max that you can expect. It just helps to be able to budget. You’re not going to get any surprises.”

Jake echoed that same sentiment.

“We were able to get what we should expect for the cost — like all of Mackenzy’s pregnancy visits, the labor and delivery. It just helps you plan. It takes a lot of stress and guesswork out of it,” he said.

As Donovan continues to grow and hit all of his milestones, Mackenzy said she is grateful for their Surest health plan that allows them to worry less about their health care and focus more on what matters most.

“We’ve really loved Surest and really made out the best in terms of getting the care we needed,” she said. “And it’s worked out the best for us financially, too.”
