Everything else they do is a separate line item on their respective bills. So if itās not a copay, what is it? A visit fee? All I know is I either pay it or I get harassed incessantly so I pay it.

A copay is what you pay up front at the doctorās office. Depending on the services provided, you may receive a bill after the fact that will be either the percentage youāre obligated to pay by your insurance company (coinsurance) or the balance your insurance didnāt cover, for example if you havenāt met your deductible. Youāll definitely sometimes get separate bills from a provider and a facility, but usually at hospitals moreso than outpatient clinics
