The program will offer membershipl to a household fora $99 enrollment fee and a monthlhy charge of $99.95, according to DMHC, with discounts rangingt from 5 to 40 percent for most However, the Houston-based health plan’s initial licenses is only valid for two years, reflectingt caution on the part of the Sacramento-basec agency, which previously has cracked down on various discoung health-care card companies in the state.
Familg Care is licensed to operatethroughout Alameda, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Napa, Santqa Cruz, Solano, Orange and San Diego counties, as well as the most populatee areas of Sacramento, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and 41 otherr counties, according to the department, and a number of localo providers are already listedr on its www.familycarecalifornia.com web site. The DMHC said the economic environmengt played a role in its decision to approveFamily Care’s application for a license.

Plana also must prominently disclose that they are notofferinvg insurance, but rather a discount product through which memberzs pay providers a discounterd fee, usually at the time of service.
