Japan National Insurance Card

I received a phone call today from my doctor saying that I have early stage skin cancer and the surgery can’t wait until I return home. I’m on a 1 year working holiday visa and I’m 1 month into it. Contacted the working holiday visa office and they told me to call again later. Just looking for some general information now.

-Are working holiday visas allowed to get insurance cards

-How long is the process to get it

-Does it cover a cancer surgery

Edit: Insurance card was obtained (surprised to get it the same day, Canada it would take 4-6 weeks lol)

Looking for recommendations for English speaking clinics in the Tokyo area and west Tokyo area
