Does medical care insurance cover illnesses developed overseas?
Insured persons can apply to the health insurance society for reimbursement of the cost of treatment or drugs administered at medical facilities overseas after first paying these costs out of pocket. The amount of the reimbursement will be based on the cost under health insurance for such treatment in Japan, reflecting "Attending physician's statement", standard receipts, and "Itemized receipt" issued by the overseas hospital. Keep in mind that you must obtain these three documents yourself.
