How to check for dot(.) in mod_rewrite

I want to redirect URL

domain/Family_He..

to

RewriteRule /Family_He(.*)$ /Family_Health_insurance

and it is working. But I have some more page with urls like

domain/Family_Health_info
domain/Family_Health_quote
domain/Family_Health_child etc

When I tried as

RewriteRule /Family_He\.\.$ /Family_Health_insurance

To have it redirect (302) you need to add the R flag. To match the dot you need to escape it using \. like 

RewriteRule ^/Family_He\.\.$ /Family_Health_insurance [R=302,L]

Note that the leading slash doesn't work in htaccess, only in httpd.conf

Are you aware that there are actually two spaces at the end of your subject string that would prevent \.$ (a literal dot at the end of the string) from matching?
