Hospitalization Charges
Admission Expenses
- Hospitalization fees are calculated based on the "Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC)"determined by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This system combines a fixed daily hospitalization fee with fees for specific medical procedures, such as surgeries,rehabilitation, and radiation therapy, calculated on a fee-for-service basis.
- If a patient's diagnosis or treatment does not fall under any category of the "Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC)," or if they are admitted to departments such as Dental and Oral Surgery, Psychiatry, Palliative Care Centers, or Recovery Rehabilitation Wards, their hospitalization fees will be billed on a fee-for-service basis.
Payment
- On the day of discharge, we will provide you with an invoice at the Inpatient Registration Desk ( Desk 34). Please make the payment at the "Self-Payment Machine" on the day of discharge.
- For patients who are discharged on Sundays, holidays, or days when the hospital is closed, the payment will be processed on a later date. We will inform you of the amount once the invoice is prepared.
- Invoices for your hospitalization during your stay are issued from the 1st to the end of the month and are distributed by staff around the 12th of the following month.
- Please make the payment at the "Self-Payment Machine" located within the hospital premises. You will need your patient ID card or the invoice for payment. For after-hours or on days when the hospital is closed, you can make payments at the self-payment machine near the Emergency Outpatient Department in Building A.
- In addition to cash, we also accept payments via bank transfer (patient's responsibility for any fees) and the following credit/debit cards. For more information, please inquire at the Inpatient Registration Desk.
