Will I be reimbursed for the entire cost of the treatment for injury or illness while resident overseas?

You can receive payment of overseas medical care costs in line with the costs of care under health insurance in Japan, based on the details of the medical care provided and receipts issued by the hospital overseas.
For this reason, you will not necessarily be fully reimbursed for the medical treatment received, which differs in terms of the level and cost by country. Check the Notice of Benefits for Overseas Medical Care Expenses for more information.

Note: Ordinarily, the costs required for care are calculated and paid using the insurance scoring system under insurance claims, pursuant to relevant administrative notices. (When it is difficult to calculate costs through this method, the amount used will be the actual amount of medical care costs for the same condition in Japan.)
