In such cases, fee-for-services payment method will be applied.
  • The hospitalization fee differs according to the availability and type of insurance and whether the hospitalization is covered by public funded system or not.
  • The bill for oral dentistry will be separated from the hospitalization when you consult the oral dentistry department while you are hospitalized for other medical reasons (and also when you consult other departments when you are hospitalized for oral dentistry reasons).
  • The cost for using private rooms is not covered by health insurance, so you will have to pay the full amount out of your own pocket. To request for private rooms, you will have to fill in the application form beforehand. (The application form can be obtained at the nurse station.)
  • The hospitalization fee will be calculated at the end of the month and billed on 10th of next month. Please pay at your earliest convenience.
  • There is a system which allows you to pay without using the reimbursement system and just pay the copayment amount when hospitalization fee is expensive.
