Czech term or phrase: doplatek (na léky)
There are many English expressions for "doplatek" I don't know which one to pick in the context of the price that patient has to pay for a medicine in a pharmacy (the price of the medicine is partially covered by health insurance and patients have to pay the remaining amount, this is called "doplatek" in Czech)
Thanks for any suggestions.

Despite decreasing reimbursement levels and increasing patient co-payments for reimbursable drugs in total values, the average reimbursement level calculated per one prescription in CZK in 2008 was 33.2% higher than in 2007, which – UZIS believes – may be related to the fact that doctors were prescribing more modern and expensive medicines and larger packs. It is worth noting that one of the aims of the Czech Ministry of Health behind the introduction of regulatory fees was to earmark more funds earned on the fees into the funding of the cost of more modern medicines. The patient average co-payment per one prescription also increased in 2008; however, when re-calculated excluding the prescription fee, it becomes apparent that for the first time in years it actually dropped by 1.2% to CZK 86 (€3.3).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Gerry, I read the article in your link and it sounds more like "poplatek za recept", a flat fee for any prescription. Beside that fee, there is also a fee depending on the type of drug in the CZ, some are free of this charge (covered by health insurance), some are not. It looks like the payment system is different in the UK...
