You can use medical care institutions for which a single circle and “(payment of difference in amounts accepted)” is indicated in the “Gynecological examinations” column.

• * While gynecological examinations are generally conducted at the same time as other examinations such as family health examinations or complete medical checkups, at a medical care institution for which a single circle is indicated in the “Individual examinations available” column you may undergo gynecological examinations alone.

Examination costs

Pay at the contracted medical care institution the portion of the examination costs beyond the subsidy amount of 7,000 yen. Check with the contracted medical care institution directly for examination costs.

Examination at a contracted medical care institution

How to apply for and get an examination

• （1） Apply for an examination directly to your desired contracted medical care institution.
  Inform the institution that you are a Tokyo Securities Industry Health Insurance Society dependent and provide information such as your health insurance code and number, name, gender, and date of birth. You do not need to notify the Health Insurance Society after this. Consent to and sign the Health Insurance Society’s document Handling of Personal Information and submit to the medical care institution before the examination. (Consent to Handling of Personal Information is required to undergo an examination.)
• （2）Get the examination as instructed by the contracted medical care institution. Pay the portion of the costs beyond 7,000 yen on the date of the examination.
  Note that if you got breast cancer and cervical cancer screenings at a medical care institution which does not offer the option of paying only the difference from the subsidy amount or if you got these screenings at different medical institutions, pay the full amount of the costs up front, then apply for the subsidy in the same way as described in “2. Examination at another medical care institution.”
  Apply at once if you got the screenings at multiple medical care institutions.
  • Subsidy applications for gynecological examinations are accepted only once during the same fiscal year.
  • You may also choose to apply for just breast cancer or cervical cancer screening, instead of both screenings.
