What is a "co-pay" or "co-payment"?
A co-pay is a specific charge your insurance plan may require you to pay at the time of service. For example, your health insurance plan may require a $25 co-pay for an office visit or prescription drug, after which your insurance company, based on your plan, will pay all or a percentage of your remaining balance.
