Calculation of hospitalization fees
Hospitalization fees for this hospital are calculated using the “diagnosis procedure combination” (DPC) method.
This method classifies costs based on the combination of the injury/disease, the primary corresponding procedure performed, and any complications in order to calculate the base fee per class per inpatient per day.
It is generally calculated based on the injury or disease for which hospitalization and treatment are provided, but if the combination of items changes during hospitalization, the base fee may also change midway.
If you are hospitalized for the following reasons, fees will be calculated according to the set price for each medical procedure rather than with DPC.
1. Hospitalization for dental care
2. Organ transplants
3. Hospitalization without an insurance card (normal delivery, work injury, traffic accident, etc.)
4. Injuries, diseases, and medical procedures stipulated by DPC rules to be calculated cumulatively
Guidance on the Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-Amount Application
For inpatients under age 70 and inpatients ages 70 and over that are responsible for 30% of the medical fees, if you submit the “Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-Amount Application” if you have high medical costs, payments only need to be made up to the ceiling amount determined by your income.
＊In order to be issued an “Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-Amount Application”, you (or a family member) must submit an application to your insurer. When the “Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-Amount Application” is delivered, submit it to the #2 First-time Patients counter on the 1st floor. The hospital can also perform the submission procedure on your behalf.
If the hospital performs the submission procedure on your behalfBased on the “Online Qualification Check System for Health Insurance Cards with a My Number Card” policy, we can perform the submission procedure on your behalf if we have your consent. After admission, admissions payment staff will come to your room and ask whether they can confirm your qualifications for the “Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-Amount Application”. Depending on your participation in the insurance scheme, we may not be able to act on your behalf. In such case, we will explain the submission procedure to you. |
＊The “Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-Amount Application” generally applies from the first day of the month the application was submitted. If the application is submitted late, the month of admission will not be covered. Submit the application promptly.
＊If you do not submit your “Eligibility Certificate for Ceiling-Amount Application”, you will be required to pay the portion of the medical fees stipulated by your health insurance card. If you perform this procedure later through your insurer, the cost that exceeds the ceiling amount will be refunded by your insurer.
＊Meals, gowns, and other costs not covered by insurance (private rooms, medical certificates, etc.) are not covered under this system.
