Kyoto Child Support Medical System

Young infants and children living in Kizugawa City are eligible for financial assistance towards the portion of the cost of medical treatment not covered by National Health Insurance during the periods stated below:

  • Treatment not requiring hospitalization: from birth or relocation to Kizugawa to entering school (or March 31 after their 6th birthday)
  • Treatment requiring hospitalization: from age 0 or relocation to Kizugawa until graduation from elementary school (or March 31st after their 12th birthday)

All treatment fees (except dental treatment) are charged \200 per department per month.

Please note of the following:

  • This coverage is only applicable toward treatments covered by National Health Insurance.
  • If the cost of treatment is also eligible for assitance as "extremely high healthcare costs," that coverage takes precedence over this one.
  • This support does not cover non-medical hospitalization expenses such as food and room cleaning bills.

This coverage is effective from the day we receive a notification of birth receipt or upon your relocation to Kizugawa City.
