Hello there !
I want to know if I can put as a Contract subject (subject is reference(Any)) the backbone element Plan ( is inside InsurancePlan resource) to get the patient's plan info (which one he is subscribed to)

Reference (Any) means any resource. In this case it sounds like you need to reference the InsurancePlan resource

I can't understand the difference between insurancePlan and Plan inside it , I see that the plan is more clear to reference to , as the insurancePlan has many plans . plz correct me ! @Vassil Peytchev

You are correct that the InsurancePlan resource allows for multiple plans within it. There is some description about the difference between an Insurance Product, and Insurance Plan, and it is not clear if the current resource definition properly reflects both concepts. If you are building a profile of the Contract resource, you may be able to also profile InsurancePlan and restrict the occurrences of InsurancePlan.plan to 0..1.
The resource itself is still in draft status, so creating a Jira Ticket with your use case might be a good idea.
@Paul Knapp, others?
