QUÉ SIGNIFICA COPAY EN INGLÉS

Copago

Copayment

En los Estados Unidos, el copago o copago es un pago definido en la póliza de seguro y pagado por el asegurado cada vez que se accede a un servicio médico. Es técnicamente una forma de coseguro, pero se define de manera diferente en el seguro de salud, donde un coseguro es un pago porcentual después del deducible hasta cierto límite. Debe ser pagado antes de que cualquier beneficio de póliza sea pagadero por una compañía de seguros. Los copagos por lo general no contribuyen a ninguna política de desembolso máximo, mientras que los pagos de coseguro sí. Las compañías de seguros usan copagos para compartir los costos del cuidado de la salud para prevenir el riesgo moral. Aunque el copago a menudo es una pequeña parte del costo real del servicio médico, se pretende evitar que la gente busque atención médica que no sea necesaria. La filosofía subyacente es que sin copago, la gente consumirá mucho más cuidado de lo que de otro modo si estuvieran pagando todo o parte de él. En los sistemas de salud con precios inferiores al nivel de compensación del mercado en que las listas de espera actúan como herramientas de racionamiento, el copago puede servir para reducir el costo de bienestar de esas listas de espera.

In the United States, copayment or copay is a payment defined in the insurance policy and paid by the insured person each time a medical service is accessed. It is technically a form of coinsurance, but is defined differently in health insurance where a coinsurance is a percentage payment after the deductible up to a certain limit. It must be paid before any policy benefit is payable by an insurance company. Copayments do not usually contribute towards any policy out-of-pocket maxima whereas coinsurance payments do. Insurance companies use copayments to share health care costs to prevent moral hazard. Though the copay is often a small portion of the actual cost of the medical service, it is meant to prevent people from seeking medical care that may not be necessary. The underlying philosophy is that with no copay, people will consume much more care than they otherwise would if they were paying for all or some of it. In health systems with prices below the market-clearing level in which waiting lists act as rationing tools, copayment can serve to reduce the welfare cost of such waiting lists.
