What is the “system deducted co-payment??
The subsidy system deducts a co-payment based on the family’s income, number of children in subsidized care and the type of provider chosen. When calculating the authorized amount, the system looks at county/tribal maximum rate and the private-pay rate the provider charges. The system chooses the lower of the two. After that the co-pay is deducted. The result is the authorized amount that will be paid to the provider. If the provider’s private-pay rates are more than the county maximum, the actual parent share might be more than the co-pay listed here.
