About the self-pay ratio of the medical care system for the latter-stage elderly

From October 1, 2022, "20%" was newly added to the self-pay rate of medical expenses paid at the counter of medical institutions, etc., and three categories of "10%", "20%" and "30%" were added. becomes. It is determined on a household-by-house basis based on the resident tax taxable income and pension income in the previous year. As for the judgment method, please see the website of "Tokyo Metropolitan Association for Medical Care for the Advanced Elderly".
In addition, in order to prevent a sudden increase in the copayment amount for those whose copayment ratio is "20%", the maximum increase in outpatient copayment will be up to 3,000 yen per month for three years from October 1st. Consideration measures will be taken. The amount paid in excess of the upper limit will be paid later as high-cost medical care benefits to a pre-registered financial institution account.
