How National Health Insurance works
Overview
Explains how National Health Insurance works in Itabashi. Members pay premiums that pool money for medical costs when they are ill or injured. Residents must join unless covered by workplace insurance or another scheme. People in the late-stage elderly system, public assistance recipients, and foreign residents whose stay has expired or whose status is short-stay, diplomatic or certain specified activities do not join. The page also explains how the ward and Tokyo share the running of premiums, benefits and health programs.
