INSURANCE

The National Health Insurance

Students generally enroll in the National Health Insurance system once they arrive in Japan. Under this system, you must pay monthly premiums. You will be issued an insurance card, which allows you to receive medical treatment at only 30% of the cost by showing the card at a medical facility. You enroll at the civic center of the ward where you reside in Tokyo. The cost varies depending upon the ward where you live but the cost for one year is usually around ¥15,000. On top of this, the insurance students with student visas obtain from Yoshida covers the 30% not paid for by National Health Insurance in the case of sickness or accidents, so a student who crashes their bicycle is 100% covered in cases of injury! (Wounded pride is not covered.)
