Generally, it means that medical bills for all family members covered under the plan will count toward meeting the deductible. This is different from the majority of plans, because most insurance plans have a deductible that is per person, with a maximum for the family of either 2 or 3 times that amount. For example, if a family of 5 is covered under your insurance plan, and the deductible is $1000 with a maximum of 3 times the amount, and you have, say, a bad car wreck where everyone is hurt - you would have $3000 to pay to meet your deductible. If you had the same family, and the 'Family deductible' is $1000, you would have only $1000 to pay to meet the deductible, even if everyone was hurt.
