Can providers refuse to serve clients who do not pay a copayment?

No. Providers cannot refuse service solely because a client does not pay a copayment. This does not relieve the client of the responsibility to pay and it does not stop the provider from attempting to collect the copayments. The copayment is a legal debt, and is due and payable to the provider.
