An ER copay is a fixed amount that a patient is required to pay out-of-pocket when receiving emergency medical treatment at a hospital. This fee is part of a health insurance plan and is typically due at the time of service. The copay amount can vary based on the insurance policy and the specific emergency service received. It's important for patients to be aware of their insurance terms to understand their financial responsibilities in an emergency situation.
If the secondary insurance states that nothing is owed by the patient, you typically do not need to pay the copay on the primary insurance. However, it's best to verify this information with both insurance companies and the healthcare provider's billing department to ensure accuracy. This information can usually be found in the explanation of benefits (EOB) provided by your insurance companies or by contacting their customer service.

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.

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.
