Cost & Insurance

In an emergency, the first hospital you go to may be an ordinary medical institution. To continue treatment after the industrial accident claim is approved, however, the facility must be a designated industrial-accident insurance institution for the care to be covered. There is also a procedure for transferring institutions, so please check in advance rather than moving on your own.
