Consumer MaxMultiplier Consumer MaxMultiplier is a consumer-driven
feature included with all of MWG Dental plan designs that puts dental
care decisions directly in the hands of the consumer. You have the
ability to increase your annual maximum each year at no additional
cost.
Consumer MaxMultiplier is administered at the member level.
This means each covered family member is eligible to earn his or
her own awards.
You must use your dental benefit at least once during
the covered benefit year.
If the total of all submitted claims
paid does not exceed the established threshold amount, an award balance
is established. (See table below) An award balance is the amount
accumulated throughout the benefit period.
You qualify for an additional
$100 bonus award, if all claims submitted during the benefit period
are paid to network providers.
If the plan has a different network
versus out-of-network maximums, awards are based on the out-of-network
maximum.
If no claims are submitted during the benefit period, no awards are
earned and there is no penalty or loss of any previously accumulated
award balance. Should your group enroll in an MWG Dental plan or if
you are a new hire in the last three months of the benefit year your
participation in the Consumer MaxMultiplier will be deferred until
the first month of the next full benefit period.
See Example. Different original annual maximums have different accumulations.

If you keep your claims below $500 per year, you will carryover $250
dollars toward your next year’s annual maximum. Earn an additional
$100 carryover by making all your dental visits to one of our PPO providers.
Maximum reward accumulation is $1,000. Awards have no cash value.
