I fell ill while traveling overseas and paid the medical care costs myself. How do I submit claims to be reimbursed for these costs?

Submit the Application Form for Overseas Medical Care Expenses with the attending physician's statement and original itemized receipts attached (or a photocopy of the credit-card statement if you paid by credit card) to the Health Insurance Association (HZD-YY1). The amount paid will be calculated based on medical care costs for the equivalent care in Japan. Since the Application Form for Overseas Medical Care Expenses is a five-sheet carbon-copy form, it is not available for download. Request it from the Health Insurance Association. See "Where to address inquiries" for the personnel to contact and their telephone numbers and other information.
