This sounds like insurance fraud. [0]

- homero 8y agoWhat about all the $5 drug copay promotions? A drug company just refunded my copay.
- breck 8y agoInteresting. That make sense but is very counterintuitive. I've always wondered why a lab has been hounding me to pay a $5 bill when insurance paid them like 99% of the bill. (I refuse to pay them because they only take check via mail--I've offered credit card, PayPal, venmo, et cetera...hoping to make things better for the next person). This explains why they care about getting paid the $5--so they can't be accused of insurance fraud. Anyway, this is just more evidence of how our whole health insurance industry needs a big refactor/replace.
- refurb 8y agoI assume you still pay your copay/coinsurance, they just discount the remainder.
