What is a health insurance co-payment?

A co-payment system in health insurance means that insured people participate in the cost of the medical service just when the person makes use of it. The annual insurance cost will be reduced by taking out a co-payment policy. Co-payments are included in the majority of medical insurance policies on the market.

HOW IS THE HEALTH INSURANCE CO-PAY APPLIED?

Once you take out health insurance with a co-payment system your annual policy will cost less than with a non-co-payment insurance. But when you need medical attention it will be necessary to present your health insurance card to associate the cost of the co-pay service to your account, monthly or quarterly.

It is important to take into account that the limit of the co-payment is 395€ per insured per year, so up to that quantity, Caser Expat will assume the rest as a co-pay cost.
