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.
