Hello,
I am planning to go to Japan to study at the University of Tokyo, but I have a question about the healthcare system.
I saw that the NHI (National Health Insurance) reimburses 70% of the cost of a consultation. In France, the system is similar, and the remaining 30% is reimbursed by a private but non-profit mutual insurance to which one subscribes.
Does this type of mutual insurance exist in Japan? I suffer from a chronic illness and I don’t want to have any unpleasant surprises.
Thank you.
