Postpartum checkup costs covered up to ¥5,000 per time, 2 times
- From October 1, with vouchers at contracted medical institutions in Tokyo
- Checkups outside Tokyo or paid out of pocket are applied for later
The city covers the costs of postpartum checkups, which check your physical and mental condition after birth, up to ¥5,000 per time, up to 2 times. Checkups on or after April 1, 2026 that meet certain requirements are covered; the 1st is expected around 2 weeks after birth and the 2nd around 1 month after birth. There are 2 ways. From October 1, 2026, you can receive the subsidy by submitting the checkup voucher at contracted medical institutions and midwife clinics in Tokyo. Vouchers were given to people who submitted a pregnancy notification on or after April 1, 2026 with a due date on or after September 1; if you do not have one, you can get it at a Health Support Center. For checkups paid out of pocket in Tokyo from April 1 to September 30, and checkups taken outside Tokyo, for example in your hometown, apply for reimbursement (online or at a Health Support Center counter).
