To request issuance of a Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate
If you do not have a My Number Card registered as a Health Insurance Certificate, the Society will use data to confirm your registration status for using such a card and then automatically issue a Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate. Please wait for this certificate to be automatically issued.
If you have a My Number Card registered as a Health Insurance Certificate, you will not be issued a Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate in principle. Please use the My Number Card as your Health Insurance Certificate.
Automatic issuance timing
- When the insured person joins the company or adds a family member as a dependent (issuance at any time):
After the Notification of Acquisition or Notification of Dependency from your employer arrives, your Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate will be automatically issued within about one week and delivered to you via your employer. - Cases other than the above (monthly issuance):
After checking the registration status of My Number Cards used as Health Insurance Certificates at the beginning of each month, the Society will automatically issue a Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate to you, and it will be delivered via your employer.
[Application at any time]
If you plan to undergo an examination or treatment before your Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate is automatically issued, please check the Application at any time box on the Application Form for Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate and submit this form. We will then issue a Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate that is valid for three months.
[Application by persons requiring special accommodations]
If you require special accommodations, etc. (see the reason field on the application form) and it is therefore necessary for you to have both a My Number Card registered as a Health Insurance Certificate and a Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate, please check the reason box under Application by persons requiring special accommodations on the Application Form for Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate and submit this form. We will then issue a Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate that is valid for one year. If you require this certificate, please read the application form carefully, as it will only be accepted for specific reasons.
In the case of those requiring special accommodations, etc., it is necessary to apply once per year. If you still require special accommodations, etc. next year as well, please apply again by the middle of the final month of validity indicated on your issued Health Insurance Eligibility Certificate.
