In addition, those who are receiving the Single Parent Medical Expense Subsidy Scheme or the Mentally and Physically Disabled Persons Medical Expense Subsidy Scheme without any out-of-pocket expenses (non-taxable households) will be given priority for the respective medical expense subsidy schemes.
Note : The applicant (guardian) is the parent of the high school student, etc. who is the main financial supporter (the one with the higher income). In addition, if the high school student, etc., is living separately from the guardian due to employment or marriage, the high school student, etc., will be the applicant. Please contact us for more information.

Of the 30% of the self-pay portion of medical expenses covered by health insurance, subsidies are provided as follows.
Outpatient visit: Subsidize the portion excluding 200 yen per visit (upper limit of 200 yen for self-pay)

Note: Expenses that are not covered by health insurance, such as health checkups, vaccinations, orthodontics, hospital meal charges, extra bed charges, additional charges for initial visits to non-referred patients at Inagi City Hospital, etc., are not covered by the subsidy.
In addition, if there are high-cost medical expenses or supplementary benefits paid by medical insurers (health insurance associations, etc.), subsidies will be provided for the amount after deducting the high-cost medical expenses and supplementary benefits from the copayment for medical treatment covered by insurance.
