Catastrophic Plan Benefits
Share Preferred and Share Traditional
$2,500, $5,000 or $10,000 Deductible

Share Preferred and Share Traditional plan benefits are exactly the same. The difference between the plans is the network of medical providers you can use to receive the highest benefit. Share Preferred is a PPO (Preferred) plan. Share Traditional is a traditional (Participating) plan. LifeWise PPO plans are the most popular because they are about 7% less expensive than LifeWise traditional plans, yet still allow you to be treated by about 90% of medical providers to receive the highest benefit. 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" or "Participating" network.

Both plans do not cover maternity, preventive care or vision care expenses (if you want a plan that covers these expenses, click here for LifeWise's Comprehensive Plans). Prescription drugs are covered as specified below.
