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.
Is it legal for health care facilites to ask for copays upfront?
Yes. If there is a predetermined copay amount then they have every right to ask for the copay upfront. The exception would be when you were in a life and death situation and then they are obligated to treat first to stabilize you then talk money after that.
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.

Is a copay considered a unreimbursed medical expense in a child support case If so should't a deductible be?
In most cases, a copay is un-reimbursable and the copay is un-reimbursable. It is ultimately up to the judge to decide what medical expenses are covered and not covered through the child support or custody case.
