Do copays go towards out of pocket max?

Why am I paying more than my out of pocket maximum?
Health insurance premiums don’t count toward the out-of-pocket maximum. For example, if the insured pays $2,000 for an elective surgery that isn’t covered, that amount will not count toward the maximum. That means that a policyholder could end up paying more than the out-of-pocket limit in a given year.
