Two insurances both pays as primary and the payment is more than 100 percent of the charge. Who do you refund the patient or insurance?
AnswerUsually one of the insurances because one of them is overpaying. If you can't convince them to take it (there can be two primaries rarely) then it would go to the patient. Even then its better to send it back to insurance and make them pay the patient themselves. That way they can't come after you years later for the refund you already sent to the patient.
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.

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.

Would an individual prefer insurance with a copayment verses insurance without a copayment?
It depends on what other cost-sharing practices the insurance company uses. If the only thing you will ever be responsible for is a co-pay, than it is excellent insurance as most insurances require that you meet a 500-2000 dollar deductible before they will pay anything. So-if you do not have to pay a copay up front but will be responsible for the entire bill to meet your deductible, it would be better to pay a 35$ copay up front everytime you go. Example: you go to the doctors 4 times a year at $200 for every visit Company A- 40 dollar copay for office visit, no deductible, then 100% after ded Company B- No copay, 500 dollar deductible, then 100%. Company A Cost- 40*4=160 Comapny B Cost- 200*4-= 800 you pay 500 insurance pays 300
