What is a long-term care insurance contribution ratio certificate?
Long-term care services and long-term care prevention/life support service businesses require users to bear a certain percentage of the cost.
The long-term care insurance burden ratio certificate informs the user of the burden ratio when using long-term care services, preventive care, and life support services.
Present it when using the service
Keep the burden ratio certificate together with the long-term care insurance certificate, and be sure to present both to the service provider or facility when using nursing care services.
We will mail a long-term care insurance contribution ratio certificate
Those who have been certified as needing nursing care or assistance and those who are receiving nursing care prevention and life support services will receive a certificate of the burden ratio from late June to late July. The burden ratio is determined every year, so please be sure to check it.
