Up to ¥100,000 per child toward your out-of-pocket childbirth costs
- Example: ¥80,000 for a ¥580,000 birth; ¥100,000 for ¥700,000
- Apply within 1 year of the birth date
Adachi City covers, up to ¥100,000 per child, your out-of-pocket share after subtracting the Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance, etc. from the costs of childbirth. It is not a flat ¥100,000 addition; the amount you actually paid out of pocket is covered. In the city's examples, if you gave birth to 1 child and the childbirth cost was ¥580,000, ¥80,000 is paid; if it cost ¥700,000, the ¥100,000 limit is paid; and for twins costing ¥1,200,000, ¥200,000 is paid. If you received the High-Cost Medical Expense Benefit or additional benefits, those amounts are also subtracted in the calculation. You can apply if the mother has had an address in Adachi City since on or before the birth date and has continuously lived in the city for at least 1 year as of the application date. The child must also have had an address in the city since birth and live with the mother. Even if you had not lived in the city for 1 year at the time of birth, you may be able to apply once you have continued living there for 1 year. You must also be enrolled in health insurance and have received the Childbirth and Childcare Lump-sum Allowance; households on public assistance are not eligible. The application deadline is within 1 year of the birth date. Miscarriage and stillbirth at 85 days of pregnancy or later (including induced abortion under the Maternal Health Act) are also covered. If you use Tokyo's epidural (pain-relief) delivery cost subsidy, first apply to Tokyo and receive the payment decision, then apply to the city.
