Copayment

Copayment is often referred to as “copay”, a fixed-dollar amount an insured is required to pay to receive services, e.g., $35 for a doctor’s visit, $15 for a prescription. Normally, doctor visit services subject to a copayment are not subject to a deductible (check your plan for details). Prescription drug copays may first require a deductible to be met.
