made the down payment for a new apartment recently. Within a few days, your son faces an accident and gets his leg fractured. Your funds were low to begin with, and now this added burden of medical expense that can amount to thousands of dollars. Health expenditures like this can force you into bankruptcy, that stays on your credit rating for up to 10 years and you do not get financing at affordable interest. Hence, investing in a health plan is immensely beneficial.

You may not be in a situation to acquire a long-term family health plan, if you are between jobs or are waiting for your company to sanction your health coverage that you can extend to your family. In that case you may consider buying a short-term policy first that you may convert into a long term one at a alter date.

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.
