A copay is a fixed amount the patient pays each visit to share the cost of a covered service with the insurance company. Copays can vary in amount based on the type of service you are receiving and the type of plan you have. You will find that copays are higher for specialists, ancillary services (MRI, CT, etc.), and emergency room visits.
Copays range anywhere from $10 up to $100 per visit. Copays are typically displayed on the front of the patient’s health insurance card but may not always be available. On occasion, you will find that a copay may not always apply to a patient's visit, so check your benefits before seeing one of our providers.
