CDM v5 Specification discrepancy in defining Out Of Pocket

In thePprocedure Cost section table the description for paid_copay says ‘Copay does not contribute to the out_of_pocket expenses.’ However, in the notes below the table under the bullet points for the amounts paid it says ‘Out of Pocket = Copay + Coinsurance + Deductible’.

This was a typo, stemming from the CDMv5 procedure_cost table description. The copay does contribute to the out-of-pocket expense amount. Thank you for pointing this out! Please see the updated table now: http://www.ohdsi.org/web/wiki/doku.php?id=documentation:next_cdm:single_cost
