Is a pharmacy allowed to charge you more than your copay for medication?

If you have an insurance plan, the pharmacy can charge the insurance company whatever they want to (more often than not, it's no more than the actual cost of the prescription minus your co-pay). They will not overcharge your co-pay. Your co-pay is a part of a contract between you and your insurance provider.
That should be spelled out in the contract between the pharmacy and your insurance carrier. The best place to ask would be your insurer.

Your secondary insurance may not cover a pharmacy copay because it is not viewed as necessary or has not been approved. This is usually associated with premium medications or those which have a preferred drug over the prescribed medication.

What if the doctors usual charge is less than the copay can the doctor receive the full copay amount?
The doctor's charges and the copay are separate fees, of course. With that, even if the charges are less than the copay, the physician still collects the patient's copay. At anytime, the physician can waive, then write-off, the copay, but I wouldn't advise this.
Do you have a copay if there is no charge for service?
I don't see how. Please reframe the question.
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.
In what situation do people have to make copay?
The copay amount is the different between what the cost of the medical procedure is and what the insurance will cover. Some HMO's have standard copay fees for doctors office visits, other do not. Prescription insurance plans will also have a copay amount, again to cover the cost difference between what the insurance company will pay versus the price of the medication.

Order Prescription Drugs by Mail for Cost Savings?
If your doctor has prescribed a medication that you expect to be on indefinitely, you can realize a big cost savings by ordering your prescription drugs by mail. That is because you are allowed to order up to a 90-day supply by mail order, as opposed to getting only a 30-day supply from your local pharmacy. Your copay for three months may be the same as it would be for one month, depending on your insurance company.
