Because people pregnant with twins, triplets, or similar need more checkups, the city subsidizes the cost of the 15th and later prenatal checkups paid for yourself. The cap is ¥5,280 per checkup (from checkups in April 2025), up to 5 times. If the amount actually paid is less than the cap, that amount is subsidized. Apply within 1 year after childbirth. The subsidy is also available in cases of stillbirth or miscarriage.
