A copay is a fixed amount you pay for a health care service (usually when you receive the service), not a percentage of the cost of that service. The amount can vary by the type of service. Your copay is another form of cost sharing and is common in health plans.

How it works: Your plan determines what your copay is for different types of services when applicable. Your ID card may list copays for some visits. You can also login to My Account on bcbsla.com or download the BCBSLA mobile app to see your plan's copays.
