What is my copay for therapy with Harvard Pilgrim Health?

Most Harvard Pilgrim Health plans have a copay, which is a preset amount you pay for for covered health services at the time you receive care. However, the amount of your copay depends on the details of your specific plan. Although you will not pay a copay when you use a doctor or facility that is out-of-network, you are responsible for paying coinsurance, which is a percentage of the total bill. Coinsurance is usually much more expensive than an in-network copay.

For more information about the copay for your specific plan, refer to My Plan Documents for details.
