FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes, unless your assistance company has arranged cashless treatment with us in advance. Cashless (direct) billing is available only for insurance and assistance companies that have a contract with us and confirmed payment arrangements. For all other travel insurance, you pay at the clinic and we issue the documents you need to claim. If you have no insurance, message us on WhatsApp before your visit and we will confirm the cost with you. We are not able to contact your insurer or check your policy's claim procedure on your behalf — please ask your insurer directly.
Call the assistance number on your policy before you visit. If your assistance company works with us, they send us your case details (usually the same day), you see the doctor without paying at the front desk, and we bill them directly. If you arrive without prior arrangement, you pay at the clinic and claim later.
That depends on your policy — please check with your insurer. After your visit we give you what you need to claim yourself: We issue an itemized English receipt after every visit and, if required, a medical certificate (¥10,000; covered by your assistance company when they arranged cashless treatment). Certificates can also be issued after your visit on request by email or WhatsApp, paid by credit card.
Major credit cards and cash are accepted.
Please cancel or reschedule as early as possible. Interpreter bookings may incur fees if changed within 1 hour.
No. Walk in during clinic hours. Appointments are prioritized: if you send your details first by form, WhatsApp, or phone, we can prepare in advance and your visit will go more smoothly.
Yes. Consultations can be provided by an English-speaking doctor or with a professional medical interpreter in multiple languages.
Yes—adults and children. For very young infants or complex conditions, please contact us in advance.
Your passport. If you have travel insurance, the name of your insurance or assistance company is enough. Bring current medications and past medical records if available.
