We live in a time when the health care has become a priority. In this situation health insurances play a crucial role and when it comes to choose a policy, attention should focus on all terms and conditions of the contract, especially if it has copayments or not.
When we talk about copayments we refer to the amount that has to be paid by the policyholder each time he/she makes use of the medical services included in the policy. This amount is independent of the premium paid by the insurance.
Health insurance with copayments
Copayment is usually applied to GP and specialist consultations, diagnostic tests and therapeutic acts and even to hospitalisations and emergencies. It can therefore result in an important increase in the insurance cost.
The price of the copayment may vary depending on the medical service and the terms and conditions of the contract. Hospitalisations and advanced diagnostic tests normally involve a high copayment.
Health insurance without copayments
Only the insurance premium has to be paid, thus giving peace of mind as no additional payments are requested to have access to the benefits and services guaranteed by the policy.
