co-pay

Insurance visit fee

A co-pay is a fixed amount a patient pays for a medical service, with insurance covering the rest.

Unlike a percentage-based co-insurance, co-pays are set fees: The co-pay for a specialist visit is $40.

Co-pays apply to doctor visits, prescriptions, and other covered services, due at the time of service.
