When you submit a pregnancy notification, you receive checkup vouchers in the "Mother and Child Health Bag" together with your Maternal and Child Health Handbook. If you use the vouchers at contracted medical institutions or midwifery homes in Tokyo, the costs of 14 prenatal checkups, 4 prenatal ultrasound tests and 1 prenatal cervical cancer screening are subsidized up to set amounts.
The limits per visit are ¥11,670 for the first checkup, ¥5,460 each for the 2nd–14th checkups, ¥5,300 each for ultrasound tests, and ¥3,400 for cervical cancer screening. If you use all of them, the limits total ¥107,250. Amounts above the limits and the costs of tests or consultations not written on the vouchers are paid by you.
The vouchers can only be used at contracted medical institutions and midwifery homes in Tokyo. Check with the medical institution in advance whether they can be used. If you have checkups at a medical institution outside Tokyo, for example when giving birth in your hometown, part of the cost is subsidized later under a separate program.
