In using the health insurance card integrated with the My Number Card, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has obliged medical institutions, etc., to introduce the necessary system by the end of March next year, with the exception of some clinics.
However, at the Chuikyo = Central Social Insurance Medical Council on the 21st, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare revealed that as of the 11th of this month, only about 40% of medical institutions have introduced it.
He also indicated a policy to postpone the deadline for medical institutions that have not been introduced.
Specifically, medical institutions that have signed a contract with a business operator that operates the system but have not completed construction will extend it for half a year until the end of September next year.
In addition, for remote islands where the network environment for using the system is not established, the deadline is six months after the network is established.
Chuikyo will discuss these policies and reach a conclusion as soon as possible.
