Frequently Asked Questions (Long-Term Care Insurance)

QuestionWhat should I do if there is no primary physician when applying for Long-Term Care Insurance certification for care needs or support needs?

Response

It is desirable to specify a doctor who was in charge of the examination for injuries or illnesses that led to the application for long-term care or support certification, or a doctor who is familiar with the individual's daily life due to regular visits. However, if such a doctor is not available, please decide on a new attending physician and visit a medical institution.
When visiting, please fill out and bring the "Questionnaire for the Preparation of the Opinion Statement by the Attending Physician" and hand it directly to the doctor.
At that time, be sure to inform them that you are applying for long-term care or support certification.
