If you don’t pay the national health insurance premium by the payment deadline, a letter such as a demand notice will be sent to you. If the non-payment period exceeds a year, you may be issued with an ‘Eligibility Certificate’. This will still provide medical cover, but the holder will initially be required to pay the full medical costs at the medical institution.
In some cases, assets may also be seized.
Please pay your insurance premiums by the deadline so that this does not happen.
If you are having difficulty paying the premium, please consult the National Health Insurance and Pension Section at Minato City Hall.
For enquiries, call either of the following subsections at Minato City Hall’s National Health Insurance and Pension Section: the Eligibility and Premium Subsection (03-3578-2648), or the Delinquent Premium Clearance Subsection (03-3578-2536).
