Do co-pays count toward the annual deductible?
A co-pay is charged for office visits to doctors, specialists, hospital emergency rooms, and for prescriptions and do not count toward meeting the annual deductible or out-of-pocket costs. The co-pay is a fixed dollar amount that the patient must pay out-of-pocket for a particular healthcare service rather than paying in full for an office or emergency room visit or for a prescription.
