Formula designed to reimburse employees up to a certain amt?

[ddhawks]

I am working on a reimbursement spreadsheet for our company's dental plan. I
need to find out how to set it up to pay up to a certain amount. For
example, if somene turns in a claim for $550, and we only pay $400, how do I
set up that formula?
Thanks!
