Upfront Deposit

At the time of admission, we ask patients to make an upfront deposit of 100,000 yen for those who are covered by Japanese Health Insurance (200,000 yen for those not covered by the Insurance). The deposit will be refunded upon discharge after the sum being applied to the actual hospital fees. Please make sure to bring your Certificate of Deposit when you pay your hospitalization fees before leaving the hospital. When someone other than the patient receives the deposit, the person receiving the deposit will be required to show their passport and another accepted form of identification.
Please understand if we ask for proof of identity when any payment is made by a person other than the patient.
