The Late-Stage Elderly Medical Care Health Insurance Card can be used until the expiration date.

Starting from December 2, the transition to a system that primarily uses the My Number Card as a Health Insurance Card will take place, and the issuance of the Health Insurance Card will be discontinued. The Health Insurance Card you currently have can still be used until its expiration date, as long as there are no changes to your eligibility information.

Expiration Date: July 31, 2025
(Note: If the expiration date expires before the above date, it will be valid until that expiration date.)

Notice about Qualification Confirmation Documents and Qualification Information

Qualification Confirmation Document

If you acquire a new qualification or if your qualification information changes between December 2, 2024, and July 31, 2025, a qualification confirmation document will be issued without the need for an application, regardless of whether you have a My Number Card or not.
After that, for those who do not have a My Number Card, a qualification confirmation document that can be used from August 1, 2025, is scheduled to be issued around mid-July 2025.
(Note: The My Number Card refers to the My Number Card that has registered for Health Insurance Card use.)

Even if you do not have a My Health Insurance Card, you can receive insured medical treatment by presenting a qualification confirmation document at medical institutions, just like with the previous Health Insurance Card.

Notification of Qualification Information

Those who are enrolled in Late-Stage Elderly Medical Care Insurance and have a My Health Insurance Card will receive a notification of eligibility information around mid-July of Reiwa 7.
