Co-Pays
For Medication Prescriptions and Dental Benefits, members must share in the cost of the service provided. (Copays are waived during the COVID-19 state of emergency).
This is a Copayment (or copay), or a set amount members pay when they receive a service.
Please refer to your Member Handbook for complete information about copays.
You can find your copays on your member ID card.
Paying Copays and other Payments
- You must make copays directly to providers at the time of service.
- You may be responsible for paying for non-covered services if you sign a release agreeing to pay before services are received. Note, the cost of non-covered services is likely to be more than a copay for a covered service.

- Children under the age of 21
- Pregnant women, including the post-partum period (90 days)
