The city subsidizes the co-payment for medical care received under health insurance by children from age 0 until the end of the fiscal year in which they turn 18 (excluding the High-Cost Medical Expense Benefit and meal costs during a hospital stay). Before elementary school, use the infant medical certificate; elementary and junior high school students use the child medical certificate; and high school-age children use the high school medical certificate. Children not enrolled in high school are also eligible. According to the city's guide on "how to receive the subsidy", the health insurance co-payment (20% for infants, 30% for elementary school age and up and high school age) is subsidized in full, so at medical institutions in Tokyo there is no ¥200 per outpatient visit either.

Nationality and residence status

The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.

Who is eligible

Children living in Fuchu City, enrolled in National Health Insurance or other social insurance, until the first March 31 after turning 18

Notes

If you present the medical certificate at a medical institution in Tokyo, the health insurance co-payment (20% for infants, 30% for children and high school-age children) is subsidized. If you see a doctor outside Tokyo, pay first and then apply to the Child-Rearing Support Division.Contact: Fuchu City Child-Rearing Support Division Call Center 0570-08-8105
