Initial Examinations

Persons visiting our hospital for the first time

If you visit our hospital for the first timewithout a letter of referral, you will be charged 7,700 yen for medicaltreatment and 5,500 yen for dental treatment as a separate fee on top of themedical fee.

Fee for treatment by patients’ choice of hospital

The fee for treatment by patients’ choice for the initial examination is a system which was instituted by the government in which patients who do not have a referral letter from their family doctor are responsible for the burden. This is aimed to coordinate the allocation of functions and activities among medical institutions to “receive the initial examination at local clinics and receive advanced / specialized medical care at hospitals (with 200 or more beds).” Based on this system, we have set a fee for treatment by patients’ choice, in order to provide an efficient medical care provision system as an acute hospital, and further encourage each patient to use a “family doctor.”
