Family health plans are not only vital but are advantageous in many ways. The charges are lower than individual plans. The entire family can be covered at a low premium. There are two types of family health plans:

Indemnity Plans: such plans proffer a wider option of medical practitioners and hospitals. But the disadvantage is that at the time you avail of these services, you will need to pay the bill yourself, and make a claim for a payout from the company later. The health company cuts the deductible and pays off the rest of the amount at a set fee called usual, customary and reasonable rate (UCR) for any therapeutic service you have taken.

Managed Care Plans: The health companies have pacts with doctors and hospitals for providing medical care at a reduced rate. However, you have to face the limitation of engaging the services of only those health care professionals that are sanctioned by your company; you are not permitted to make your own choice. You do not have to pay; the hospital or the doctor will make a claim for their payment directly from the company.
