Keep your kids insured for less
Is keeping your kids on the company health plan costing more than it needs to? Switching to a child-only Catastrophic Plan* could save you a lot of money in the long run, while providing the right level of coverage a youngster needs
What is a child-only health plan?
A child-only plan is a health insurance policy where no parent or guardian is covered and the policyholder is 18-years-old or younger. The child (or children) is the only one on the health plan, which can often have a pretty nice price tag!
Many times, mom or dad are on a health plan from work that either won’t cover children or has a high price tag because the employer doesn’t cover any of the monthly costs. Sometimes companies offer an expensive health plan with rich benefits to employees, which may be great for the parent but isn’t really needed for a healthy child. Whatever the case, a child-only plan could be a great, cost-effective health insurance solution, saving the family money and covering kids with healthcare benefits they’ll use the most. In particular, a Catastrophic Plan would be the most wallet-friendly health plan for your kiddo.
Save money with a Friday Catastrophic plan
A Catastrophic plan is actually offered to anyone under the age of 30. With a Friday Catastrophic plan, your child can look forward to enjoying a range of wallet-friendly health benefits. For example: a free eye exam, unlimited $0 Teladoc appointments, and $0 well check-ups and vaccines.

Three free visits each year with your child’s pediatrician
Your child can visit an in-network pediatrician three times a year for $0 with the Friday Catastrophic plan, No copays and no need to hit your deductible.
We want to make sure your kid can see the doctor whenever they’re feeling under the weather. Whether it’s a sore throat, nagging headache, or that weird toenail thing, they can get checked out by your doctor at no cost. These three free pediatrician visits are in addition to a free annual check-up appointment that comes with every Friday health plan.
Remember to make sure your pediatrician is in the Friday network. We have a strong network of excellent pediatricians, and you can find all of them here at the Friday doctor search.
