In a new video, Plan members along with Dr. Charles Rollinger, M.D., Vice President of Medical Management and Quality of US Family Health Plan of Southern New England describe the specialized health care US Family Health Plan is well known for.
Dr. Rollinger, a practicing primary care physician of 36 years with 25 years’ experience as a managed care administrator, highlights in the video how members are always put first and have timely access to care.
“We do our very best to ensure members get timely access to primary care and specialty care. One of the issues in military care that you don’t see in the commercial population is when an active duty spouse goes on active duty, it is incredibly stressful, particularly with young children…Timely access to care is very important”
US Family Health Plan member Tech Sgt. Shaun Reagan, US Air Force and Air National Guard, reflects on how important the Plan is for his family as he serves on active-duty.
“My family has been enrolled in US Family Health for the past three years since I’ve been back on active-duty. We choose this plan because of how easy it is for us in our location, a lot of the doctors we have are all covered under the plan…I just recently got back from deployment to Afghanistan and my wife was able to continue on with deployments and everything without me there. If we no longer had access to the plan we’d be devastated, we’d have to find a new insurance plan that covered our doctors and start all over. It would be very sad.”
US Family Health Plan of Southern New England represents the personalized care and access to quality health care that are the hallmarks of the the Plan and prides itself on its deep understanding of military culture and the unique needs of military families.
