What is a copay?
This is a fixed amount that you must pay for a covered service, as defined by your health plan. Copays usually vary for different plans and types of services. Typically, you must pay this amount at the time of service. Again, copayments are fixed—which means you will always pay the same amount, regardless of visit length. In most cases, copayments go toward your deductible.
What is a coinsurance?
This type of out-of-pocket payment is calculated as a percent of the total allowed amount for a particular service. In other words, it’s your share of the total cost. For example, let’s say:
Your insurance plan’s allowed amount for an office visit is $100.
You’ve already met your deductible.
You’re responsible for a 20% coinsurance.
In this situation, you’d pay $20 at the point of service. The insurance company would then pay the rest of the allowed amount for that visit. Keep in mind that the coinsurance amount may vary from visit to visit depending on what services you receive.
Mountain Physical Therapy and Fitness Center currently does NOT offer public membership to the gym and/or pool. Our Physical Therapy patients however, are allowed to use the facility up to 2 times a week above and beyond their PT appointment as long as they schedule their independent visits during office hours with the front desk.
