Prenatal checkup costs paid in your hometown are refunded

A program that later refunds the cost when you keep the vouchers for use in Tokyo unused and have prenatal checkups at medical institutions in other prefectures, for example when returning to your hometown. There is a limit per visit for the refund. From April 1, 2026, it is ¥11,670 for the 1st, ¥5,460 each for the 2nd to 14th, ¥5,300 for ultrasound tests, ¥3,400 for cervical cancer screening and ¥3,000 for the newborn hearing test. Postpartum health checkups are ¥5,000 for both the 1st and 2nd, and the 1-month infant health checkup is ¥6,000. Besides visiting medical institutions in other prefectures after the Maternal and Child Health Handbook was issued, for example when returning to your hometown, cases where you had 15 or more checkups for a multiple pregnancy are also covered. You can claim within 1 year of the birth date (or the end date of the pregnancy).
