Frequently Asked Questions (National Health Insurance)

QuestionI was a victim of assault. Can I use the My Number Health Insurance Card and Qualification Confirmation Document?

Response

Can be used if the perpetrator cannot be identified.
If the perpetrator can be identified, the medical expenses for the injuries caused by the perpetrator should, in principle, be fully borne by the perpetrator. However, if the compensation is delayed, you can temporarily receive treatment under national health insurance. However, please be aware that national health insurance will later bill the perpetrator, so be sure to report to the City Hall Insurance and Pension Division.
Please note that if a settlement has been reached or if you have received treatment costs from the perpetrator before notifying the Insurance and Pension Division, you will not be able to receive treatment under the National Health Insurance.
