I got hurt at work. Can I use my health insurance card?

Last updated: April 1, 2016

 Workers' accident compensation insurance applies to injuries sustained at work or while commuting. Therefore, health insurance cards cannot be used. Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance covers all people who are employed and paid wages, such as full-time employees, part-time workers, and part-time workers.
Please note that if you use your health insurance card when it is recognized as a work-related accident, you will be required to return the full amount of the insurance benefits.

 You cannot use your health insurance card in the following cases.
・I fell and got injured while working part-time.
- Injured at work or while commuting.
