FAQ (frequently asked questions)
My checkup results included one of the following: medical care required, checkup required, detailed examination required, or re-examination required. However, I feel fine, so would it be okay if I wait until I see next year’s health checkup results before I do anything about it?
Even if you do not think you have any symptoms, we recommend checkups to anyone whose results indicate that they require a detailed examination or treatment or that they exceed the standard values. Please go have a checkup or get the treatment you need as soon as possible.
If your results indicate that re-examination is required, please have a checkup at the timing indicated in your results (example: after six months).
Which department should I visit for my checkup?
We recommend visiting the clinical department indicated in the table below: Reference: clinical departments
However, if your results also include instructions on which clinical department to visit, please go there for your checkup.
If you have a family doctor, we recommend showing them your results and having a talk with them.
To have a checkup at a general hospital or university hospital, you will need a referral.
You will be charged an additional fee if you do not have one, so please talk to the hospital where you had a health checkup or your family doctor about this before you go.
I am already seeing a doctor. What should I do?
Show your results to your family doctor, talk things over with them, and keep going in for treatment (or observation).
Can I use my health insurance?
Please bring your My Number Card as health insurance certificate, etc., patient registration card (if you have one), and results with you to your checkup.
Are there any subsidies available for a detailed examination?
