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?
