WiseChoices Plan Benefits
WiseChoices 20 & 30

$1,000 or $1,500 Deductible

These are Preferred Provider (PPO) plans that do not require a referral to see another doctor. As long as you are treated by a PPO provider when you receive medical care, you'll receive the higher Preferred Provider benefit (80% for WiseChoices 20 plan; 70% for WiseChoices 30 plan).

The WiseChoices 20 plan has a $1,000 deductible; the WiseChoices 30 plan includes a $1,500 deductible.

These plans cover prescription drugs, maternity, vision care expenses, supplies, equipment and prosthetics. If you do not need benefits to cover these types of expenses, you may be interested in LifeWise's
WiseEssentials plan that offers catastrophic coverage (including preventive care and no deductible for the first 6 office visits per year) for less cost.

Chances are excellent that your doctor is a LifeWise PPO plan provider. Click here to see if your doctor or practitioner belongs to the "Preferred" network.

The percentages shown below are the amounts paid by LifeWise Health Plan.
