What are copays?

Copays are a set dollar amount you pay for covered services, like doctor visits or prescriptions. They’re usually $5-10 per visit or prescription.

Only certain NJ FamilyCare C and D members have copays. If you have them, they’re listed on your member ID card. When you reach the family cost‐share limit, copays no longer apply.
