In January 2020, Tokyo began providing subsidies for "advanced medical care" performed when receiving in vitro fertilization and microinsemination under insurance.

1. Those who have both husband and wife's resident records in Inagi City from the date of treatment start to the date of subsidy application (including common-law marriages)
2. Those who have been diagnosed by a doctor as having no or very low chance of becoming pregnant with treatments other than in vitro fertilization or microinsemination.
3. Those whose treatment start date is on or after April 1, 2020, and whose age on the first day of treatment is under 45 years old.

Please note that we cannot provide financial assistance for infertility treatment costs in the following cases:

2. Infertility treatment using a surrogate mother
3. In the case of infertility treatment through borrowed pregnancy
4. If you receive infertility treatment by a method that is not covered by "medical insurance" or "advanced medical care" (regardless of whether or not it is covered by medical insurance)

We will provide subsidies if you undergo a series of infertility treatments that fall under either (1) or (2) below, which are covered by medical insurance and advanced medical care (in vitro fertilization) and (microinsemination).

(1) Combined treatment with medical insurance coverage [advanced medical care (not covered by medical insurance)]

If a person falls under the target age and number of subsidies (Note 1) for which medical insurance for infertility treatment is applied, and receives "advanced medical treatment (not covered by medical insurance)", the maximum amount is 30,000 yen per treatment (Note 2). (If advanced medical expenses are less than 30,000 yen, up to that amount).
　
(Note 1) Medical insurance will cover up to 6 treatments per child if the woman is under 40 years old at the time of treatment initiation, and up to 3 treatments per child if the woman is over 40 years old and under 43 years old.
(Note 2) The method of counting one time is based on the Tokyo Metropolitan Specified Infertility Treatment Expenses (Advanced Medical Care) Subsidy Project ((1) only).

(2) [Self-paid medical treatment] (unlimited number of times, under 45 years old)

If you receive "self-pay medical treatment" or "advanced medical treatment (if performed)" due to exceeding the age and number of times limits listed in (1) above for which medical insurance for infertility treatment is applied, you can receive up to 30,000 yen per treatment. We will provide a grant of Yen (unlimited number of times).
