Medicine Cost

They beauty of the HSA hit me about 5 yrs ago when a friend developed prostate cancer. He satisfied his deductible and OOP while in the hospital. When discharged, he had 3 or 4 new meds plus was looking forward to 25 follow up "mini" radiation treatments.

Each one subject to a doc copay.

His wonderful copay plan was costing him a fortune with 4 per week for doc + the monthly copays for Rx.

Co-pays are not always a good solution. I personally have a co-pay plan that charges me 75 dollars for urgent care. Few months ago I had to go for a minor thing, Spoke with the doctor, gave a pill and that was it. Explanation of benefits came a month after and this was the detail.
Universal urgent care, bla, bla, bla----$120.00
insurance paid ---------$45.00
Pacient paid --------- $75.00
How much do i pay having an urgent care based on coinsurance, worst case 50% JUST $60.00 DOLLARS!!!!
I use my own example since then.
