Fee for Treatment of Patients’ Choice 選定療養費について
To promote the functional share at medical facilities, patients are obligated to pay the “Fee for Treatment of Patients’ Choice”. This is in addition to the consultation fee on their first and return visits whenever they have consultations at a Regional Medical Care Support Hospital with 200 or more beds, unless they have referral letters.
Based on the Regional Medical Care Support system, we do not examine patients without referral letters.
Still, some consultations are accepted only when the patients are judged to be necessary to take without a letter. Those patients are required to pay the “Fee for Treatment of Patients’ Choice” in addition to the consultation fee.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
