Until the end of the fiscal year of age 18, the co-payment for insurance-covered care is subsidized
- No procedure at the counter at contracted medical institutions in Tokyo
- Checkups, vaccinations and meal costs during a hospital stay are excluded
When children with an address in the city and enrolled in health insurance, from age 0 until the first March 31 after turning 18, receive insurance-covered care at hospitals and similar, the city subsidizes the co-payment. At contracted medical institutions in Tokyo, if you show your My Number health insurance card or similar and the medical certificate, no procedure is needed at the counter. Costs not covered by insurance, such as checkups, vaccinations and private room charges, and meal costs during a hospital stay are excluded. For injuries and illnesses at school or daycare, the Japan Sport Council's disaster mutual aid benefit is used in principle. You can apply online, by mail, or at the counter of the Children and Youth Support Division.
