Overseas medical expenses

　If you are unavoidably required to receive treatment at a local medical institution due to illness or injury while traveling abroad for a trip, you can apply for the medical expenses to be reimbursed as overseas medical expenses after returning to your home country.
However, medical expenses incurred when traveling for treatment purposes are not eligible for payment.

(1) You will be required to pay the full amount of expenses incurred at the overseas medical institution where you received your treatment.
(2) Have the patient fill out a ``Medical Details Statement'' and ``Receipt Statement'' as proof of the treatment details and medical expenses required for the treatment at the medical institution.
(3) After returning to your home country, please apply to the National Health Insurance Section of your city hall.
(4) After the application is received, the Tokyo Federation of National Health Insurance Organizations will conduct a review, and based on that decision, a payment decision will be made and the payment will be transferred to the designated bank account. It takes approximately 3 months from application to payment.

Please download and use the "medical details statement" and "receipt statement" here.

• Medical Statement (FormA)

　If there is no form, a medical statement that shows the details of the medical treatment.
If it is written in a foreign language, please be sure to attach a Japanese translation .

• Receipt statement (FormB)

　If you do not have a form, please submit a receipt that shows the details of the medical treatment.
If it is written in a foreign language, please be sure to attach a Japanese translation .

• Receipt for medical expenses paid locally

　I will take a copy. If there is a breakdown of the receipt, please submit it together.

• passport

　In order to confirm the fact that you traveled and that the medical expenses related to the payment application were made during the travel period, please present your passport, etc.
After confirming the relevant travel record in the original, we will ask for a copy of the page where the passport number, passport expiration date, photo of the person, signature, etc. are written, and the visa page with the immigration stamp.

• research consent form

　Inagi City or a business operator entrusted by Inagi City may refer you to the medical institution where you received medical treatment overseas. Therefore, you will be asked to complete a research consent form.
In principle, the signature should be the same as the signature on the passport of the person who received the treatment.

• Something that shows the transfer destination (passbook, etc.)
• seal
• Identity verification documents
• Individual number (My Number) confirmation documents

　The amount of overseas medical expenses paid is basically based on the standard amount when receiving medical treatment benefits for the same injury or illness at a Japanese insurance medical institution, etc., and the standard amount plus the actual treatment expenses paid to the overseas medical institution. It is determined by comparing the amount paid.

(1) Medical procedures that are not covered by insurance in Japan will not be eligible for benefits if they are performed overseas for the purpose of treatment.
(2) If you lose your eligibility for National Health Insurance due to moving overseas, you will not be eligible for benefits.
(3) The application deadline is two years starting from the day after the payment of overseas medical expenses.
