The amount that the policy holder pays on each claim. Either a set amount like $10 for a MD visit or a percentage like 20%. The next question you might ask is - what if I have a $1,000,000 claim, do I have to pay $200,000. No, most policies have an "out of pocket maximum" of $2,000 to $5,000.
What else can I help you with?
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.
