Under the terms of a patient's HMO, the allowed charge for a prescription is $75.00, but the price of the medication is $100.00 . The patient's copayment due for each prescription is $15.00 . How much can the pharmacy collect from the patient?

$25.00
$15.00
$10.00
$75.00


$15.00

Rationale: In this example, the pharmacy can collect $15.00 from the patient. The copayment of $15.00 is a set amount and the pharmacy cannot charge the patient more than this.
