How to use clinics and hospitals and the health insurance system
Where should I go when I get sick?
For mild symptoms, such as a cold or upset stomach, go to a nearby clinic.
For more serious symptoms or major injury, go to a hospital.
Hospital
Mild symptoms, such as a cold or stomachache
Small hospital, clinic
Referral/referral letter
If a serious illness is detected. If surgery or hospitalization is required
Serious illness or symptoms, major injury
Large hospital
(general hospital)
What is the difference between a clinic and a hospital?
Hospital: more inpatient beds
Clinic: 19 or fewer inpatient beds
* If you go to a large hospital that has 200 or more inpatient beds without a referral, you will be charged an amount of around ¥1,000 to ¥8,000 yen on top of your medical expenses.
How to receive a medical consultation
In Japan, anyone can receive a medical consultation at a clinic or hospital.
- Check your symptoms.
- Search for a clinic or hospital near you that has the appropriate department for your symptoms.
• Some clinics and hospitals only have certain particular departments (e.g., ophthalmology (eye diseases), otolaryngology (ear and nose diseases), dentistry (teeth diseases), orthopedics (injuries)).
• If you go to a large hospital without a referral, you will be charged an amount of around ¥1,000 to ¥8,000 yen on top of your medical expenses.
• If you need a referral, you can obtain one at a clinic. - If you go to a large hospital that has 200 or more inpatient beds, it is better to have a referral.
- Take your health insurance card, cash (about ¥10,000), and any medication you are taking with you to the clinic or hospital.
- Explain your symptoms at reception. You will be asked to show your health insurance card, so show it at reception.
• You may also be asked to show some identification (residence card, etc. or passport). - You will be called when it is your turn, and a doctor will see you.
• Some clinics and hospitals take appointments. If you make an appointment, you will spend less time waiting at the clinic or hospital.
• After you have seen the doctor, do not throw away any receipts or medical certificates. You will need them the next time you see the doctor.
