Now, there is a difference between a co-pay and co-insurance.

Very few of our Medicare patients have a specialist copay. But it is quite common with commercial insurances (employer provided)... And it is typically $30-$50...

But almost ALL Medicare patients have the 20% co-insurance, that is typically picked up their co-insurance... Often only after their deductible has been satisfied...
Our medicare advantage plan gives us $ 5 copay for specialists in their network with no cost to us to see our family physician.
