Coinsurance refers to a small fee that must be paid by the patient at the time of an office visit.?
The small fee that is paid at the time of the office visit is called a copay. The copay amount, usually $15.00 to $30.00 depending on your plan, is all that you pay for the cost of the office visit. Coinsurance is a percentage of a larger hospital medical bill that you pay after you meet your deductible. For instance, if you have a "80/20" plan, with a $1000.00 deductible you are responsible for the first $1000.00 of the bill. Then the insurance company pays 80% of the bill and you pay 20% of the bill. The 20% is your coinsurance.
When you have a primary and secondary insurance will the co-pay from your primary insurance be paid by the secondary insurance?
I have insurance paid for by my employer (primary) and through my husband's employer (secondary). In my experience, I have never had to pay the copay required by my primary because it is covered by my secondary. When I first got married, 2 years ago, I still paid the copay, but the doctor's office would always send me a check for the copay a month later because the secondary paid it.

Will Alabama medicaid pay a primary insurance copay?
Medicaid will pay the copay only if the amount of the copay added to whatever the primary insurance paid is less than or equal to what Medicaid would allow for that charge to begin with. Like charge of $50 for a visit, and the copay is $10 and the primary insurance paid $3 and Medicaid allows $15 for that particular code. Then Medicaid would pay $12.00 of it. This is highly unlikely, though.
