I’m doing some overseas travel this summer and I noticed this in the jet insurance handbook. Sounds like we should prepare these forms in advance. But where to get them? It’s a bit vague…can we download them online somewhere? For reference it says
“Q2. If I suffer an injury or illness during temporary home leave or during a trip to a third country, how should I pay for treatment? What are the claims procedures in this case?
A. You should pay directly for any expenses to the hospital overseas. After returning to Japan, you should first file a claim for these expenses with the Japan Health Insurance Association's Social (Health) Insurance. The following materials will be required to file this claim:
(i) Application Form for Reimbursement of Medical Expenses
(ii) Attending physician's statement (include a Japanese translation, and the name, address, and signature of the
translator)
(iti) Itemised receipts (include a Japanese translation, and the name, address, and signature of the translator) (iv) Medical receipts
Once this claim has been filed, contact the Overseas Travel Insurance Claims Service Division of Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance to claim the costs that were not covered by the Japan Health Insurance Association's Social (Health) Insurance. You will need the receipts for the medical fees when applying for reimbursement of medical expenses to Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance. When claiming expenses from the Japan Health Insurance Association's Social (Health) insurance, please make sure that you make copies of the original receipts beforehand.
*Cashless medical treatment services are not available under the Policy.
Please contact a local office of the Social Insurance Agency regarding the above forms. When returning temporarily to your home country or traveling in a third country, please take the Attending Physician's Statement and Itemised Receipts forms with you and have the physician abroad fill them out should you receive treatment.”
