Medical Expense Subsidy for Children
Minato City will send a new medical certificate to use from October to children currently covered by the Medical Expense Subsidy in a blue envelope in the middle of September. The color of the new certificate is light green. If you do not receive it by October, please contact us.
What is the Medical Expense Subsidy System for Children?
This subsidy helps families cover medical expenses for their children. It is provided to all children until the 3/31 after their 18th birthday. Please note, however, that this program only subsidizes expenses covered by health insurance.
Eligibility & registration
To be eligible to use this system, children and their guardians must live in Minato City. Children must also be a member of the Japanese health insurance plan. To register for the issuance of a medical certificate, please visit the Health and Welfare Subsection of Regional City Office
Use of the system
For the deduction at time of payment, please present your child’s health insurance card and the medical certificate to the clinic where your child is undergoing treatment. If you were unable to present the medical certificate at the time of payment, or if your child underwent treatment at a clinic outside Tokyo, you can claim the amount within about six months after treatment. Please keep the original receipt.
Note
Please notify the Health and Welfare Subsection in case of change of your child’s address, name, enrolled health insurance, and others.
