International students at Waseda are covered by the following medical insureance schemes:
|
 |
|
| Foreign students who remain in Japan for more than one year must register for the National Health Insurance or Kokumin Kenkou Hoken at the National Health Insurance Section of the municipal office where they have obtained their Foreign Resident Registration Certificates. If you are registered with this type of insurance, the insurance will cover 70-80% of your medical bills. However, please note that some medical treatment is not covered (e.g. medical checkup, cosmetic surgery, child birth and traffic accident). If you are going to receive treatment from medical establishments, which accept National Health Insurance, please be sure to take your National Health Insurance Certificate with you. If you need further information or assistance, please contact the National Health Insurance Section of the ward or municipal office nearest to your residence. |
