Postpartum checkups ¥5,000 × 2 and the 1-month infant checkup ¥6,000 covered (vouchers from October)

The city covers the costs of postpartum checkups for mothers and 1-month infant checkups for babies. The limits are ¥5,000 per postpartum checkup, up to 2 times (within 2 months after birth; as a guide, around 2 weeks and 1 month after birth), and ¥6,000 for 1 1-month infant checkup (from 28 to 41 days old, counting the birth date as day 0). From October 1, 2026, you can have them using vouchers at contracted medical institutions in Tokyo (midwife clinics also for postpartum checkups). The vouchers are in the Mother and Child Health Bag given at pregnancy notifications from April 2026, and were sent in mid-July to people who submitted the notification by March 31 with a due date on or after September 1. If you do not have them, you can receive them at the city office, branch offices, the public health center, or health consultation centers, or request them online. For checkups from April 1 to September 30, 2026, and checkups from October taken without vouchers for unavoidable reasons, you are reimbursed if you apply with receipts, etc. (from after birth until the day before your child's 1st birthday, once each). Postpartum checkups are also for people who had a miscarriage or stillbirth.
