WiseEssentials Plan Benefits
$1,750, $2,500 or $3,500 Deductible

This is a Preferred Provider (PPO) plan that does 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 (75%).

This plan does not cover prescription drugs, maternity, vision care expenses, durable
medical equipment and prosthetics. If you'd like a LifeWise plan that covers these expenses,
click here for LifeWise's
WiseChoices plan.

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.

Covered as for any other condition (limited to partners, proprietors or corporate officers who are not covered by a Workers' Compensation Act or other similar law)
Pre-Existing Conditions A pre-existing condition is one for which there has been diagnosis, treatment (including the use of prescribed drugs), or medical advice within the six month period prior to the effective date of coverage or a condition for which symptoms existed within the six month period prior to the date of coverage and for which a prudent person would have ordinarily sought treatment.

Pre-existing conditions will not be covered until a member has been continuously enrolled under this plan for 9 (nine) months. In some cases, LifeWise Health Plan will apply credit for pre-existing conditions if the person enrolling has been covered by a prior group or individual health benefit plan that is considered "creditable" coverage (i.e., a plan that had benefits as good or better than this plan), at any time during the 63 (sixty-three) day period immediately preceding the receipt date of the application.
