Understanding Your Annual LifeWise Maximum & Deductible

Annual Maximum

This is the total dollar amount LifeWise will contribute toward your covered dental care within a single benefit year. Most employer-sponsored LifeWise PPO plans carry an annual maximum between $1,000 and $2,500. Once that limit is reached, any remaining costs for the year are the patient's responsibility.

Deductible

This is the amount you pay out-of-pocket before LifeWise begins contributing to covered services. A typical LifeWise PPO deductible is $50 to $100 per person. Preventive care, including exams and cleanings, is generally exempt from the deductible, meaning your coverage applies from your very first visit.

Frequency Limitations

Most LifeWise PPO plans include frequency limits on certain services, such as one set of bitewing X-rays per year or cleanings every six months. Our team reviews these limits during your benefits verification so there are no surprises.
