National Health Insurance

National Health Insurance is a system in which the national and municipal governments pay 70% of a member’s medical expenses when they receive treatment for illness or injury at a medical institution. Members of this insurance plan are required to pay only 30% of their medical expenses.
In addition to Japanese nationals, all foreign residents staying in Japan for one year or more must join the National Health Insurance System. If you are not enrolled in the system, you will be required to pay your medical expenses in full to receive treatment in case of illness or injury.
Although you must pay a set amount for the National Health Insurance premium, a maximum limitation is stipulated under the Benefits for High-Cost Medical Care Program for the amount of medical expenses that you must pay in cases such as serious accidents or long-term hospitalization that require expensive medical care.
