〈Keep your health insurance card close at hand〉
If there is only one health insurance card for your whole household, ask your provider to issue you with a card for an insured person living in a remote location. If you are enrolled in National Health Insurance, you can apply for the remote-location insured person card from the municipality of the location in which you have your address, and if you are enrolled in social insurance, you can apply for it from the health insurance association via the employer of the person on which you are dependent. You complete the application by submitting a remote-location insured person card issuance application form.
If each person in the household has their own card, there is no need to follow the above procedure.
In addition, by obtaining a My Number Card and registering for its use through the Mynaportal application, you can use your My Number Card as your health insurance card.
Messages from senior students-9-
“The medical expenses you have to pay out of pocket differs greatly depending on whether you have an insurance card!
My Number Card can be used as a health insurance card, so those who do not have a My Number Card should get their own as soon as possible.”
〈Confirmation of immunization record〉
The mother and child health notebook contains your immunization history and is a valuable source of information on your growth and development. If you study abroad, you may need it to fill out forms about your health, so we recommend that you keep a copy of your mother and child health notebook.
