fee-for-service
Definition
A health insurance plan that allows the holder to make almost all health care decisions independently. The plan holder pays for a service, submits a claim to the insurance company, and, if the service is covered in the policy, receives reimbursement. Fee-for-service plans often have higher deductibles or copay than managed care plans.
