Everyone needs health care, regardless of the situation.
Everyone that has health insurance, that is.
I volunteered at an emergency room for many years (a long time ago). I saw a lot of people who came into the emergency room for things that were *clearly* not emergencies. I think the copay should be high enough to discourage people without true emergencies from coming in. In many instances, an urgent care is sufficent, so make an Urgent Care copay more attractive than the ER.
No - that's what coinsurance is for.
I think it should depend on if it is a true emergency. Too many people use the ER for basis illness that could be treated at the dr.'s office.
do it like northern states hmo plans, 100 er copay, 200 each inpatient visit copay regardless of length of stay---GO BACK TO ALL COPAY PLANS *****GET RID OF DEDECTIBLES AND COINSURANCE %
Alot of time in the begininning you may not know how serious a condiotion is. This may alson keep some people from seeking treatment.
I don't think co-pays should vary by seriousness of medical condition. That does not seem fair.
You can't help when something happens to you unexpectedly… most of the time, at least.
