From October 10, XNUMXth year of Reiwa, those who have income above a certain level among the medical insured for the elderly will be charged XNUMX% of the medical expenses at the counter.
Based on the taxable income and income amount of the insured person during the XNUMXrd year of Reiwa, it will be judged on a household basis, and the insured person's card with "XNUMX%" will be sent to the applicable person before the enforcement date. ..

■ Standard of XNUMX% burden

"Taxable income of 200 yen or more" and "Pension income + other total income amount of XNUMX million yen or more"

* Taxable income is the amount of "taxable standard" in the residence tax payment notice.
* Pension income does not include survivor's pension or disability pension.
* If there are two or more insured persons, "the total of pension income + other total income amount is 320 million yen or more"

■ Background of the review

From 2022, the baby boomer generation will begin to be over 75 years old, and it is expected that the support for the late-stage elderly will increase along with medical expenses.
This review is to reduce the burden on the working generation and maintain universal health insurance.

■ Consideration measures

Of those who will be burdened with XNUMX% for XNUMX years from the enforcement, the increase in the burden of outpatient medical care for one month will be suppressed to XNUMX yen as a consideration for patients who receive frequent long-term consultations.

Example) When the total medical expenses are XNUMX yen

・ If you pay XNUMX%, the counter burden is XNUMX yen.
・ If you pay XNUMX%, the counter burden is XNUMX yen.
(Once you pay XNUMX yen at the counter, XNUMX yen + XNUMX yen increase in burden will be applied, and the difference of XNUMX yen will be paid as a high-cost medical treatment.)

* In order to provide high-cost medical expenses promptly and reliably, we will send a "high-cost medical expenses advance application form" to those who do not have an account registration immediately before the enforcement date.
