Frequently Asked Questions (Late-Stage Elderly Medical Care)

QuestionPlease tell me the procedures when a Late-Stage Elderly Medical Care insured person passes away.

Response

When a subscriber of the Late-Stage Elderly Medical Care system passes away, it is necessary to return the Health Insurance Card and complete the procedures for loss of eligibility, etc.
Additionally, if a funeral is held, the person who conducted the funeral (the one who bore the funeral expenses) will receive funeral expenses.
We will provide information on what is needed for the procedures, so please contact the Insurance and Pension Division.
