What is a Co-Pay?

A co-pay, also known as a copayment, is a fixed fee that patients pay at the time of receiving medical services. Co-pays typically apply to specific covered services, such as:

  • Doctor’s appointments: Standard visits to a primary care physician or specialist.
  • Prescriptions: Medications covered under your insurance plan.
  • Diagnostic tests: Imaging or blood work required for diagnosis.

The co-pay amount is predetermined by your health insurance plan and is often a much smaller percentage of the total cost of the service. It’s a simple and predictable way to share medical costs without unexpected surprises.
