　In addition to the certificate of medical treatment, the Life Insurance Association shows the following examples of documents that can be used as alternative documents that can be confirmed to have a new coronavirus infection in addition to the medical treatment certificate. As for the details, please see page (outside site) of "General Life Insurance Association".
　First of all, before applying for a certificate of medical treatment, please consider the procedure with alternative documents.

Please contact your insurance company for any documents that can be handled.

• Those that show the results of PCR tests and antigen tests conducted at medical institutions.
• Medical treatment statement (medical management fee includes "addition of hospitalization for patients with type 2 infectious disease patients" (including temporary treatment for outpatient care and medical fees))
• Prescription and instruction manual containing coronatherapy drug
• Received results (SMS, LINE, etc.) of the Health Follow-up Center (Kanagawa Prefecture Positive Registration Desk) established by local governments
• A copy of the email exchanged between the health center and the positive person
• Guidance sentences issued by the public health center to positive persons (describe points to note about health observation and life support)
• Test results (excluding commercially available test kits) of test centers (other than medical institutions) that conduct PCR tests and antigen tests

　In Yokohama City, we will certify medical treatment based on the "Notification of Occurrence" regarding the new coronavirus infection submitted by medical institutions to the public health center.
　Therefore, Yokohama City cannot prove medical treatment for those who have not consulted a medical institution and who fall under the following.

• Those who are judged to be positive by self-examination
• Those who have been tested positive at an inspection center, etc.

　If any of the above applies, check with your insurance company and consider the procedure using alternative documents.

　For those who are found to be positive by a commercial antigen test kit or a free test in Kanagawa Prefecture, and who did not consult a medical institution and submitted a notification of "voluntary medical treatment" to Kanagawa Prefecture before September 25, 2022, Yokohama City cannot issue a medical treatment certificate. (Issuance of medical treatment certificate in Kanagawa Prefecture *.)
※However, as an exception, even if you have submitted a “Notification of Voluntary Medical Treatment” to Kanagawa Prefecture will have to apply to Yokohama City in the following cases.
[Exceptions]

1. If you have received a positive diagnosis at a medical institution, but you have reported a “voluntary medical treatment notification”
2. If you are receiving a food distribution service in Kanagawa Prefecture during the voluntary medical treatment period

※In Kanagawa Prefecture, the issuance of medical treatment certificates has ended as of the end of September 2023.

※What is the four types?

2. Pregnant women
3. Those who need to be hospitalized
4. Those who are at risk of illness and whose physician determines that treatment of COVID-19 infection or new oxygen administration is required

　If you have been diagnosed with a new coronavirus infection at a medical institution during this period and do not fall under the above four types, there is no need to submit a “Notification of Occurrence” from the medical institution to the public health center. Proof of medical treatment cannot be proved.

　Due to the change of the type of coronavirus infection from Class 2 to Class 5 under the Infectious Diseases Law on May 8, 2023, it is no longer necessary for medical institutions to submit a notification of outbreaks, so the public health center will issue a medical certificate.

　In order to avoid the tightness of fever outpatients at medical institutions, companies and schools, etc. are requested to cooperate with companies, schools, and other stakeholders to avoid requesting documents or medical certificates to prove the results of tests issued by medical institutions when employees or elementary school studenｔ are infected with COVID-19 andelementary school studenｔ. (Refer to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Office)
　Please consider the following documents to prove that you have suffered from the new coronavirus infection.

• Medical treatment statement containing "Emergency Medical Care Management Addition 1 (Admission Adjustment)" (Medical Management Fee)
• Those that show the results (positive / negative) tests performed with commercially available test kits, etc. (including images)

　　In addition, after a certain medical treatment period has passed, please cooperate not to request a negative test certificate or a healing certificate.

"Consideration for obtaining certificates, etc. from medical institutions and public health centers related to COVID-19 infection and seasonal influenza"
