Detailed explanation-1: -What is co-payment in health insurance? Co-pay in health insurance is a clause, wherein the insured agrees to bear a specific portion of the incurred medical expenses. It is usually a fixed percentage of the claim amount, which the policyholder pays at the time of a claim.

Detailed explanation-2: -A deductible is the set amount of money you pay out of pocket for covered services per plan year before your insurance plan starts to pay. A copay is also a set amount of money, but it’s the fixed fee attached to certain covered services.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deductible is the amount that a policy holder has to pay before the insurance company starts paying up. In other words, the insurance company is liable to pay the claim amount only when it exceeds the deductible.

Detailed explanation-4: -A copay is a fixed cost ($40, for example) that an insurance policyholder pays for a specific service covered by insurance. Coinsurance, on the other hand, is paid as a percentage of the cost of a service. Copays and coinsurance apply in different situations, but both are expenses associated with your insurance plan.
