Medical care costs for sickness and injury treatment are uniformly determined at all hospitals in Japan, based on the standards established by the Japanese government as Medical Fees. However, using health insurance, the only amount you pay at a hospital is the copayment. This can make it hard to grasp the actual medical care costs incurred.

Therefore, everyone can check the medical care costs they paid, the benefits paid by the Health Insurance Society, and other details online.

In addition, medical care institutions will issue receipts showing medical care costs per item, including charges for the first consultation, checkup charges and treatment charges, as well as detailed statements showing more detailed “medical care information”. Please be sure to compare and check with the web medical care cost details. Try to check these against the medical care cost information you receive from the Health Insurance Society later.
