No Pay or Co-Pay ?
March 22, 2009 – 8:30 amYou will know if you have co-pay if you work for a company and only pay a part of the doctor’s office bill when you see the doctor. It’s that simple, and yet complicated at the same time. Many people just love their co-pay and would be lost without it, and that’s the problem if they quit their jobs or get laid off – no more co-pay. If you want to opt to get co-pay while you are solo, that will cost big bucks.
The thing is, many people don’t really realize that co-pay is NOT insurance, it’s a benefit and companies pay a lot of money to offer co-pay as a perk for their workers. This isn’t to say you can’t get co-pay if you’re on your own, but ask your local insurance agent about that first, as you may have to re-think that strategy and opt for something else more affordable.
