Local enrollment, referrals & prescriptions

Public, employer & private care

For Japan, ask your municipality, employer or relevant health-insurance body whether enrollment applies to your status, and what member contributions and services remain. Separate visitor care from any resident scheme and check how private cover coordinates with it.

Finding care where you stay

Confirm appointment and referral procedures, language support and how prescriptions can be obtained locally. Request the exact plan's network and reimbursement procedure rather than assuming a foreign membership card provides cashless access.
