The copayment rate for medical care costs for persons aged 70-74 is either 20% or 30% depending on income. Previously, an elderly benefits card was issued to each of the elderly persons and their dependents to verify each person’s copayment rate. Since December 2, 2024, however, for those who have an Eligibility Verification Certificate, this information is in principle shown on the Eligibility Verification Certificate.

When you are treated at a medical institution, please present both your "medical care certificate for the elderly" and your insurance card.

Note that when your cost-sharing rate changes, you also need to change your medical care certificate for the elderly.
