Costs of 2 postpartum checkups (¥5,000 each) and the 1-month infant checkup (¥6,000) covered

The city covers the cost of checkups for mothers after birth and for 1-month-old babies. Postpartum checkups are up to 2 times per person, up to ¥5,000 per time. The 1st is around 2 weeks after birth and the 2nd around 1 month after birth. The 1-month infant checkup is once per baby from 28 to 41 days old, up to ¥6,000. You must be registered as a resident of Arakawa City on the checkup date.

From October 1, 2026, if you submit the postpartum checkup voucher or 1-month infant checkup voucher at a designated medical institution in Tokyo, the subsidy is applied on the spot within the limit (tests not covered and amounts over the limit are paid by you). People who submitted a pregnancy notification on or after April 1, 2026 were given them together with the prenatal checkup vouchers. If you do not have vouchers, contact the city. For checkups taken in Tokyo from April 1 to September 30, and checkups on or after October 1 without using a voucher, prepare receipts and itemized statements and apply through the city's form (postpartum checkups and the 1-month infant checkup together, only once, within 1 year of the birth date).
