Information

Before seeing a doctor

As a general rule, all first-time patients require to submit a referral (patient referral document) issued by another medical institution (hospitals, clinics, etc.).

The primary mission of this hospital is to provide advanced and specialized medical cares to patients and therefore, as a general rule, we accept outpatients with a referral only. To promote greater efficiency and coordination among medical institutions in providing medical services for people who need them the most, we request all first-time patients to bring a referral (patient referral document) from other medical institutions.

Patients who do not have a referral (patient referral document) issued by another medical institution must pay a Selective Medical Care Charge of 5,500 yen (tax included) if any of the following 1 to 4 applies:

Patient who is visiting the hospital for the first time
Patient who is visiting the hospital again after his or her previous treatment program ended
Patient who is visiting the hospital again after his or her previous treatment program was suspended due to the patient’s personal reasons
When the patient is otherwise deemed to be a first-time patient by the doctor
