In 2021, among the 69 percent of workers who had a copayment for a specialist physician visit, 32 percent of employees had a copayment somewhere between 45 and 60 U.S. dollars. This is the amount out-of-pocket they had to pay for each visit to a specialist doctor even if their deductible for the year had been reached.
This statistic illustrates the distribution of copayments among covered workers with a copayment for a specialist physician visit in the United States from 2006 to 2021.

Previous years from KFF Employer Health Benefits Survey, 2018-2019; Kaiser/HRET Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Benefits, 2006-2017.
*In 2021, for specialist physician visits, 69% of employees had copayment, 22% coinsurance, 5% had no cost sharing, and 4% had other. Cost sharing includes copayment and coinsurance and is in addition to any general annual deductible.
Percentages less than 3 percent were calculated manually. Missing percentage points to 100 percent are probably due to rounding.
