The voucher can be used at contracted medical institutions in Tokyo, and it is given in the same way as for postpartum checkups. If you had the checkup outside contracted medical institutions in Tokyo, such as in your hometown, and could not use the voucher, part of the cost is covered by the "Prenatal Checkup, etc. Subsidy for Giving Birth in Your Hometown, etc." (conditions apply).
