What Are Medicare Advantage Copays?
Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans replace Original Medicare and typically include copays — fixed dollar amounts you pay each time you use a covered service. Common copays include:
- Primary care visits: often $0–$20 per visit
- Specialist visits: often $30–$60 per visit
- Urgent care: often $50–$90 per visit
- Emergency room: often $90–$150 per visit (waived if admitted)
- Inpatient hospital: often $250–$500 per day for the first several days
These amounts vary significantly by plan and carrier. Every plan also has an annual out-of-pocket maximum — once you reach it, the plan covers 100% of covered in-network services for the rest of the year. For 2026, the CMS maximum allowable MOOP is $9,350.
Options That May Help with Copays
Several supplemental insurance products are designed to help cover out-of-pocket costs that Medicare Advantage plans leave behind:
Hospital Indemnity Insurance
Pays a fixed cash benefit per day of hospitalization, which you can use toward copays, deductibles, or any other expense.
Cancer Insurance
Pays lump-sum or per-treatment benefits if you are diagnosed with cancer — helping offset the high copay burden of cancer treatment.
Critical Illness Insurance
Pays a lump sum upon diagnosis of a covered condition (heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc.) that you can use for any purpose.
Choosing a Lower-Copay Plan
Some Medicare Advantage plans have significantly lower copays than others. An independent broker can compare every plan in your ZIP code side by side.
