A subsidy of up to ¥6,000 per checkup is given toward the cost of the checkup around 1 month after birth. 1-month checkups received in or after October 2026 are covered; checkups received in or before September are not.

The checkup is between 28 and 41 days after birth, counting the birth date as day 0. Submit the voucher at a contracted medical institution in Tokyo and have the checkup. If there are checkups or treatment not on the voucher, there will be an out-of-pocket cost.

For people who submitted a pregnancy notification in or after April 2026, the voucher is in the "Mother and Child Health Bag" given at the time of notification. For people who submitted the notification in or before March and whose due date is on or after August 15, 2026, it is mailed to your home around the 7th month of pregnancy. People whose due date is on or before August 14 do not have a voucher; if they have a checkup in or after October, they apply through the "subsidy for prenatal and postpartum checkup costs when giving birth in your hometown and similar."Checkups at places other than contracted medical institutions in Tokyo, such as when giving birth in your hometown, are also covered by this cost subsidy.
