The medical system
A medical cost assistance system of "studying abroad"
All the people that a medical cost assistance system has a residence qualification of "studying abroad" with a thing (enforcement, Japan I.I.E.) that this system is administered by a budget of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of a foreign foreign student can receive an application of this medical cost assistance system. But it becomes a precondition that a person with a qualification to join the National Health Insurance mentioned above joins. In addition, same as National Health Insurance, there is the case that the insurance is not applied to by medical examination and treatment contents.
80% of medical cost in a range received insurance medical examination and treatment among the medical cost which I receive medical examination and treatment in this system at a hospital and a medical office doing the handling of health insurance and paid are assisted later. Therefore, I will get off with a burden of 6% in substance if I use this together with the National Health Insurance mentioned above. But please warn the medical cost which it took because you must pay once.

■National Health Insurance
When I went to a hospital and a medical office, a member of National Health Insurance has only to pay 30% of the medical cost total sum in a disease and an injury.
But there is it when you must bear the total amount of the expense that you cost in health insurance by oneself. For example, when it used a special therapeutic drug with the high price that is not recognized by "extra charge for the special room in hospital", health insurance when it was hospitalized in private wards, it is special treatment of teeth such as gold crowns. Delivery / artificial abortion becomes total amount individual payment, too.
A point in time when the participation to National Health Insurance visited Japan is a principle. Therefore, when I am late and join it and apply, there can be a thing requested payment of a premium for a thing of the past.

■A hospital
Let's go with the Japanese that the person who does not understand it can speak Japanese as much as possible.
A foreign language is the hospital where a doctor is to be able to talk about, but should contact it beforehand when I am going to receive medical examination and treatment because there is not it, and there is the doctor by a turn day when a person of a receptionist cannot speak a foreign language.
There is medical insurance system to lighten a disease and a burden of medical cost when I was hurt. I will join it as soon as possible.
When I have a checkup when there is a limit about everyday life and treatment for reasons in religion, please tell a doctor.
There becomes little difficulty with receptionists when I bring the card which I mentioned one's address / phone number in with me.
In addition, it is it with help to decide medical examination and treatment department with a medical advice and a receptionist when I put down a main symptom.

The thing which is necessary at the time of medical examination and treatment
· A health insurance card
· Cash
· An identification of alien registration
· Memos such as an address or a phone number
Payment of medical examination and treatment costs is limited to cash.

If life calms down, I will find family doctor (a family doctor) with a medical institution nearby.
When I need consultation, I am not upset and get possible to take advice from the day time about healthy maintenance of everyday life again if I decide a medical institution to use.
Medical examination and treatment is often found in receptionist order of the day not a reservation system. On this account because there are many patients at a big hospital, there can be the thing that I am considerably kept waiting.
But most of the dentistry is reservation systems.

■A sudden illness / an ambulance
Is accompanied with intense pain at midnight; when get sick, and was injured seriously in an accident, it is necessary carry it to a hospital in an ambulance, and to be urgently treated.
A phone number to cause an ambulance is common throughout all over Japan, and it is "119" turns without an exchange number. But because "119" turns are urgent numbers of a fire department, at first please stream down whether you want to call an ambulance whether it is a fire clearly. In addition, in the case of from a public telephone, I dial "119" after pushing a red button for emergency in the entire surface of a telephone. A telephone card and a coin are unnecessary.

Emergency

■Theft / Loss
An article is stolen from room, and common throughout the whole country, and please call "110" turns without an exchange number when it was seized money and goods. At first please speak content of a case after telling an address and a full name clearly. I dial it with "110" after pushing a red button for emergency in the entire surface of a telephone when I run from a public telephone. A telephone card and a coin are unnecessary.

■A fire
When a fire was caused in a room and the next room, there is an insufficient case to put out fire with only oneself alone. Is a loud voice by all means; "is a fire"! I cry with ", and please tell neighboring people.
When a fire seems to spread, please contact a fire department promptly. I am common throughout the whole country and dial it with "119" turn without an exchange number. A telephone card and a coin are unnecessary.

■A traffic accident
When an injured person is seriously injured, I talk on the telephone in "119" turns without an exchange number and call an ambulance and, in a traffic accident, progress in a hospital. A pain becomes intense, and I go to a hospital by all means, and please receive a diagnosis / treatment then even if being similar is not felt for a serious injury when time passes because aftereffects can stay. In addition, there is a traffic disaster mutual aid system aimed for the inhabitants welfare, and all the people doing alien registration can join a city and a ward. It is a little different, but contents of a system are applied by a city / a ward when, for example, an accident without a partner rides a bicycle as for this mutual aid system and falls down by oneself and was hurt. Because it is an economical welfare system, as for the person using a bicycle, it will be good to join it. Please ask a detailed thing in a traffic disaster mutual aid window of a local city (a ward) government office living in.

1.I contact Police "110" turn and take out "a report of accident"
∗ Hear an address / a full name / a phone number of a partner of an accident
∗ I notify the police of accident outbreak, and demand a call of a police officer
Two points of the above are very important.
A telephone to a police station is "110" turns without an exchange number. A police officer comes and, after communication, makes a record. A record proves outbreak of an accident and becomes an important document when I judge which I am responsible for. Testimony of an eyewitness becomes an important element.

2.Treatment costs and treatment of negotiations
Njury of compensation for damages are completed, among a victim and assailants, I will do settlement out of court negotiations about treatment costs or compensation for damages. Even a viewpoint of a victim is a viewpoint of an assailant, but the negotiations are considerably complicated. You should talk about whether you depend on a Japanese knowing well with a consultation window.
