Regarding the insurance coverage for infertility treatment, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has added new targets for in vitro fertilization and microinsemination that have been confirmed to be effective and safe, and for some advanced medical treatment, It was found that we are considering allowing the combination of advanced medical care that is not covered by insurance and the treatment that is covered.
To reduce the financial burden of fertility treatment, the government is considering expanding the coverage of public insurance and will show the process at the end of the year.
To this end, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided on treatment methods that have been confirmed to be safe for the mother and fetus, as well as the success rate of fertilization and implantation, among in vitro fertilization and microinsemination that are not currently covered by insurance. Positioning it as "standard treatment", we are considering adding it to new insurance coverage.
In addition, even for advanced treatments that exceed the "standard treatment", those that the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare has confirmed to be effective are being considered in the direction of allowing the combined use of advanced medical treatment that is not covered by insurance and applicable treatment. I found out.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to formulate guidelines next year based on the opinions of specialists on what kind of treatment should be "standard treatment", and will discuss it at the Chuikyo = Central Social Insurance Medical Council. After that, the policy is to expand the application from the 4th year of Reiwa, two years later.
