A copay, or copayment, is a fixed amount that a patient pays for a specific healthcare service or prescription at the time of receiving it, usually as part of a health insurance plan. This amount varies depending on the type of service, such as a doctor's visit or a specialist appointment. Copays help share the cost of healthcare between the patient and the insurance provider. They are typically outlined in the terms of the insurance policy.
