Out-of-pocket hospital costs for pregnancy-related illnesses covered
- Households with income tax of ¥30,000 or less, or an expected stay of 26 days or more
- In principle, apply before or during your stay
Toshima City subsidizes medical costs when you are hospitalized for treatment of illnesses such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, anemia, obstetric bleeding, or heart disease.
Eligible people are those registered as residents of Toshima City with an eligible illness, who are in a household whose total income tax for the previous year was ¥30,000 or less, or, for others, whose expected hospital stay is 26 days or more.
The subsidy covers the out-of-pocket share of costs covered by health insurance. The standard share of hospital meal costs is paid by you.
In principle, apply before or during your hospital stay. If you apply after leaving the hospital, apply within 3 months after discharge; in this case, the actual hospital stay must be 26 days or more.
Documents to submit are the application form, a medical certificate, a household survey form, a copy of your resident record, health insurance eligibility information, and an income certificate. The counters are the Health Promotion Division (2-1-1 Minami-Ikebukuro, Toshima City Public Health Center, 3rd floor) or the Nagasaki Health Consultation Center.
