copayments
Shared medical costs
Copayments are fixed amounts that insured patients pay out of pocket for medical services, with insurance covering the rest.
A doctor visit might carry a twenty-dollar copayment, a specialist visit forty, a prescription ten.
The amount varies by plan and service type.
Often shortened to copays: My copay for generic drugs is only five dollars.
