High-cost total nursing care expenses system

If both the medical insurance burden and the The Long-term Care Insurance burden occur on a household basis, and the total amount for one year (the calculation period is from August 1 to the end of July of the following year) exceeds the standard amount, the excess amount will be refunded.
We will send an application form to those who are eligible for payment, so please apply to the ward office Insurance and Pension Division National Health Insurance Section. It will be shipped sequentially from March to July every year. You need to apply for a large sum of nursing care expenses for each applicable year.
In addition, in some cases, such as moving in from outside the prefecture during the calculation period, it may not be possible to grasp that it is eligible for payment, so if the copayment amount seems to have exceeded the standard amount, first of all, the medical insurance counter of the municipalities before moving in Please contact the The Long-term Care Insurance counter regarding the issuance of a “copayment certificate”. (If two years have passed since the day after the application notification was received, in principle, the statute of limitations will expire and payment will not be possible.)
