Reception Desk Information

To new patients

Fukuyama Medical Center is a referral-based hospital. Please bring a letter of referral from another medical institution when you visit the hospital.
In accordance with a policy promoted by the national government of “dividing functions among medical institutions,” we collect, apart from treatment fees, additional fees indicated below for first and follow-up examinations of patients who visit the hospital directly without a letter of referral from another hospital or clinic. *Provided, however, that this does not apply to those who are examined without referrals from other medical institutions due to emergency or other unavoidable circumstances, or who are enrolled in a system covering medical care at public expenditure for specified diseases and conditions.

Selective medical care fee (initial visit) 7,700 yen (for patients who do not bring a "letter of referral" from another insured medical institution, etc. for their initial visit) (Patients who continue to receive medical care at this hospital despite having been referred in writing to another insured medical institution for a follow-up visit) *The fee was revised on October 1, 2022 in accordance with the revision of medical service fees for fiscal 2022.
