Details Concerning Hospitalization Costs

Method for Calculating Medical Fees

Our hospital calculates hospitalization fees based on the Diagnosis and Procedure Combination (DPC) classification system that determines a fixed daily cost for the combination of the patient's illness and symptoms and the treatment required. In addition, for operations, rehabilitation, radiation therapy, etc., medical fees are calculated for each medical procedure using the “pay-as-you-go method,” which is added to the fixed costs.
If the patient's illness does not fall under any of the DPC classification groups, or if the patient is hospitalized for dental or oral surgery, or admitted to the psychiatric ward, palliative care center, or the Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Ward, the fees will also be calculated by the pay-as-you-go method.

Payments

  • You will be billed for the costs incurred from the 1st to the end of each month during your hospital stay. The invoice will be issued around the 12th of the following month, and distributed by the ward nurse.
  • The invoice at the time of discharge will be prepared at the Reception Desk for Inpatient Cashier. The nurse will let you know when the invoice is ready.
  • Those who are discharged on Sundays, public holidays, and hospital holidays will be billed at a later date. We will inform you of the amount as soon as the invoice is ready.
  • Please pay at the automated payment machine in front of the Outpatient Cashier Counter on the 1st floor. (You will need your patient registration card or the invoice in order to pay.)
  • In case the automated payment machine cannot process the payment, the staff at the Reception Desk for Inpatient Cashier will handle it. Please ask our staff at Inpatient Cashier.
  • Please note that we may ask you to wait as it takes some time to issue the invoice.
  • In addition to cash, we also accept bank transfers (transfer fees payable by the patient) and payments using the following credit and debit cards. For more information, please ask at the Reception Desk for Inpatient Cashier.
