For postpartum checkups and the 1-month infant checkup received on or after October 1, 2026, part of the cost is subsidized using checkup vouchers. When you hand in the voucher at a contracted medical institution in Tokyo, part of the cost is deducted. For postpartum checkups, there are vouchers for 2 checkups, as a guide at 2 weeks and 1 month after childbirth. The 1-month infant checkup is for babies aged 28 to 41 days. The vouchers were given together with the Maternal and Child Health Handbook to people who submitted a pregnancy notification on or after April 1, 2026. For checkups up to September 30, you pay yourself even if you have a voucher.
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
Mothers who are in principle within 2 months after childbirth and babies aged 28 to 41 days, with their resident record in Tokyo on the checkup date (for checkups on or after October 1, 2026)
Notes
People who submitted a pregnancy notification by March 31, 2026 and are expected to have checkups in or after October were sent vouchers by mail in late June.For premature babies, the timing of the 1-month checkup is counted by corrected age.For checkups at medical institutions outside Tokyo, give the request letter and the voucher to the medical institution and have them fill in the results; then apply to the city with the receipt to get a refund.If you move outside Tokyo, ask your new municipality about its subsidy program.Contact: Oyako Comprehensive Support Center (042-378-3434).
