Regarding payment

Please pay your medical expenses at the time of discharge by taking your patient's registration card to the 1F payment counter on the day of discharge (if a holiday, the advanced emergency and critical care center) .
* If you are unable to make the payment by the day you are charged discharge procedures will still be necessary, so please be sure to go to the 1F payment counter (if a holiday, the advanced emergency and critical care center).

Medical expenses during hospitalization will be calculated at the end of the month and a "notification bill and receipt" will be delivered to you on the 11th day of the following month (or the following weekday if it falls on a holiday). Please take your "notification bill and receipt" to the medical expenses payment machine and make your payment.

Credit card payments are accepted at the medical expenses payment machine, the payment counter, and the advanced emergency and critical care center (JCB, VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, Discover *)
* However, Discover is not accepted at the medical expenses payment machine

Regarding systems of payment of high-cost medical expenses, please consult with the 1F general reception or medical welfare consultations window in the "Various Consultations Plaza".

• High-cost medical care payment-in-kind system certificate
  If you use a high-cost medical expense ceiling-amount application, the amount of medical expenses paid at the window will be reduced. If you desire this, please fill out the application with the insurer and present the ceiling-amount certificate at the window.
• Delegated payment system established by the National Health Insurance
  "Delegated payment" refers to a system by which the patient pays the individual limit as well as meal costs, room balance, and other expenses not covered by insurance to the hospital, and the high-cost medical expenses are paid directly from the insurer to the hospital.
  * There are some insurers which do not have this system. Please confirm with your insurer directly and complete the procedures.
• High-cost medical care loan system established by health insurance
  "Loan" refers to a system of loaning high-cost medical care expenses to individuals. You will pay the full amount at the hospital counter.

At this hospital we adopt calculations of hospitalization expenses via a comprehensive payment (DPC/PDPS) formula as a "DPC-covered hospital" as designated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This calculation method is a formula which combines the Diagnosis Procedure Combination portion (medicine administered, injections, procedures, hospitalization fees, etc.) and the Per-Diem Payment System portion (surgeries, anesthesia, rehabilitation, guidance fees, etc.) based on categories (diagnostic group classifications) stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare based on the hospitalized patient's type of illness, whether there was surgery (procedures), and whether or not there were concurrent illnesses from a per-diem amount.
