The cost of the 1-month checkup subsidized up to ¥6,000 (once per child)
- For checkups in Tokyo from October 2026, deducted with the voucher
- Otherwise, apply to the city within 1 year of the checkup date
Health insurance cannot be used for the health checkup at around 1 month after birth. The city pays that cost up to ¥6,000, once per eligible child.
When you have the checkup at a medical institution in Tokyo (not a midwifery home) on or after October 1, 2026, if you submit the "1-Month Infant Health Checkup Voucher" given when the Maternal and Child Health Handbook was issued, up to ¥6,000 is covered by public funds and you pay only the amount above that. For checkups received by September 30, 2026 and checkups at medical institutions outside Tokyo where the voucher cannot be used, you receive the subsidy by applying to the city.
It covers children born on or after April 1, 2025 who are registered as residents of Ota City at the time of the checkup. Another requirement is that the child and the caregiver are in the same household on the resident record.
You can apply until the day before 1 year has passed from the checkup date; after the deadline, you cannot receive the subsidy. Apply to the Health Promotion Section by mail or at the counter.
